Event 2

The second event that I went to is "making strange" in Fowler museum by Gagawaka and postmortem by Vivan Sundaram. The theme of this gallery is human body and fashion. It comprised different elements such as anatomical structure and mannequin. This exhibition primarily aim at raising public concern of human illness and aging.

According to these photos, we can see that artist attempted to use waste material to create art, with extraordinary creativity. The artist use garment and broken object to make another configuration. For example, this photo remind me of what we have learned about medical technology and art. It divided human body into different part and enable us have a better acknowledge of our own body. There are different internal system in our body and Vivan exactly demonstrate them in a piece of art work. Another photo also illustrate the example between medical technology and art. The placement of the head and our body is very special and capture my attention. In my perspective, this artwork also combines technology and art, which make me fully understand the relations between these two.

On the other hand, i am also impressed by the design of this dress. Vivan made use of different material to create the dress, which put fashion and waste material together. By using waste material and recycle it, Vivan is able to make a dress, in the meantime, alert the contemporary people that environmental problem is a huge concern in society nowadays. Using a different way to show the issues that we have to concern is more unique and impressive to visitors. This demonstrate the interaction between two cultures.Therefore, I have a better understanding of how two cultures rely on each other. The most important thing is Vivan is not only an artist, he also think of the idea he want to express in his artwork, which is really amazing.

Generally, this exhibition is really good for student to visit because it can let us know more about human body and how it relates to art. The art work show how art can be used with human body, which enable people to have a new vision towards art. Therefore, it would be a great experience for those who have interested in research in human body. For this reason,I absolutely recommend students to take a look in the exhibition, in order to have a brand new idea toward art, fashion and medical technology.

I cannot take photo inside the museum so I take photo with the staff outisde.
