Alternative Exhibition Format Response
From looking at the Alternative Exhibition Format slideshow I seemed to enjoy examining the pieces that expanded beyond the canvas or platform. Cai Guo-Quiang uses entire rooms and 3D objects with his work - although his pieces are made up of so many different components he arranges them so they are clearly one combined piece of artwork. I love how Christian Boltanski uses 2D images but adds wire and specific lighting (suspended lightblubs etc.) to add a sculpture element to his work. His pieces ultimately feel more interactive, striking and unique. Barry McGee combines the two artists styles by taking numerous 2D images and arranges them in a way that flows across the gallery similar to the wolves Guo-Quiang used - allowing the 2D images to be more like sculptures like Christian Boltanski. The concept of using the space in the gallery to enhance your work really appeals to me.
