Hi all, been ages since I last post my blog. Saw this email in the school and email about an art gallery at the substation at 45 American street which seems quite interesting. The title is INFORMATION, where local artist of five collaborate to examine and use colors and artistic way to represent statistics of the elements of work, play, sleep, dreams, love and happiness and tackle questions such as - What are the colours of your dreams, the subsets in your relationships, the equations that give rise to your life and happiness? They actually did a survey to see what are the colours people would use to represent for example work, play, sleep, dreams, love and happiness and from there they figure the statistics like the individual colours chosen the amount of people choosing that colour would have a thicker bar or longer strip of that particular colour.
There were seven art works in the gallery all using colours to represent even and individual information. But the moment I step into the gallery I saw this art work that was right in front of the door. Personally, I find it very interesting. It was made up of threads that over each other and knotted threads here and there and it consist of different colour of thread and each colour symbolizes the elements of work, play, sleep, dreams, love and happiness. The threads with their individual representation cross, overlaps and knotted at some areas. Upon further observation, I found out that it represent our life.
Where the straight line represents went everything goes smooth, knotted would symbolized the problems that we faced in life be it relationship problems, work related issues and family problems. As for all the overlaps, and crossing over each and every threads they symbolizes that each and everything in our life is interlinked with each other.
Like I said there are other art works around but I still like this piece the most.
