MFA

What really struck me about the MFA exhibit was their use of space. Understanding their was no curating, they made good use of the gallery. Starting off, compared to previous exhibits, the use of hanging walls in the center part of the gallery was wonderful. I often find that the various artists who share that space blend together but the use of the hanging walls clearly defined the room into sections that made the individual works stand out more.

In the other rooms, such as the far-most rooms on the right, had some interesting ways of setting a space. One that stands out in my mind is Jon's video piece. He hung velvet down one half of the room to separate his video piece from the other artists he was sharing the room with. Although I imagine the velvet was used for a much more functional purpose, such as giving him a space to project the video, I did appreciate how he used his space to make it how he wanted.

When I viewed the show, the names and titles were still not up, so I am not commenting on individual's pieces but instead the show gave me ideas, and proof, on how to own your given section of the gallery.
