...I'm confused too. Hi though!
Three artists. Three wildly innovative ways of interacting with space. My thoughts on all of this: Neat!
Takeaway from this: LOVE the way she uses scale. Making a sculpture so huge is one thing (although, not insignificant! I imagine it’s super technically challenging), making the sculpture work with its size to command its environment is another, and Brick House does this super well.
Thoughts for my own art: how do I make something feel truly huge?
Side note, since I’m writing this a little (a lot) later than I was supposed to, as soon as I saw this name I went “hey wait I’ve heard of this guy” and sure enough! He’s responsible for one of my favorite works at wareHOUSE! The book Your House, to be specific. I wouldn’t have immediately guessed that he was the same artist behind stuff like The Weather Project, to be honest. Both works are extremely spatially oriented, but nothing else jumps out as similar between the two. I’m glad I remembered Eliasson’s name from wareHOUSE so I could make this connection, because otherwise I never would have realized!
Anyway, about his work in general. I think the most impactful aspect of it is the atmospheric stuff he does with color and light. It makes me feel like moths have the right idea about the whole “bash into this lightbulb” kinda thing. Seriously, if I saw The Weather Project in person you’d probably have to drag me out of the room because I’d just stay in there forever if no one stopped me.
