Group Review 1
Jeff Masino: Photo/sound based work that intends to "stimulate all the senses". I wonder how the booth/sculptural element could be included. I'm curious about the dreams. Maybe you could provide a wall piece/write up or incorporate it better into the actual piece (one of the juxtaposed projections). I was confused by that the most. Also, the vibrations seemed tricky, but I'm not too familiar with how that works.
Priyam: Paintings/Woodcuts: I wonder how the work would hold the wall, if there are only 6 @ a small size. Would they be displayed in a way that shows their relationship?
Kerry: Traditional Ceremony: I think adding a facade (whatever the places you visit during the ceremony look like) or some additional element to the door would assist the work. A video of a performance or a performance the day of the opening would be nice.
JulieW: Internet Paintings: I like the smaller paintings, but the larger one seemed more effective. The captions will probably be very important to inform the viewer that the images are taken from Facebook (or any social networking website). Aside from the captions, I think any apparent relation to the actual website would dilute the work.

Bucket of Blood
Although a bit slow at times, the film's humor kept it enjoyable. The character's interactions and involvement with "the art world" were represented nicely.

Her character is convincing. It's obnoxious and clever. The low-tech quality assists the critique well.

MFA Group 1
The gallery transformation proved useful. The additional walls in the main corridor as well as the sheeet in the "video room" allowed for more work to be shown. The curtain in the video room was appropriate. It allowed the artist to utilize elements of the gallery to complement his work in a cohesive manner. As the film depicts fabrics blowing, it was presented as a projection onto a curtain.
I enjoyed Megan Flaherty's photos and video. The choice of an intense matte paper aided the subject matter. The ominous quality of the landscapes was supported by the darker tonal range. I appreciated the simplicity in their display. The very slim silver tacks enhanced a sense desolation. The video seemed to challenge the photos, as it offered a different perspective on still life and landscape.
I liked Erin Dunn's video and installation. I enjoyed the way she incorporated elements from the video, including plants and colors such as green and pink, into the space. It was fun to watch and walk through.

Damian Ortega "Capital Less"
Brown honeycomb like forms. Large.
It was nice to examine the structures. It seemed like they could be fragments of city buildings. The size of each structure combined with the holes and cracks made me think of what my living space might be like if I were an ant.
Jill Magid "Objects to be Handed Over or Destroyed"
Photographs. Text - Narrative. Video Screens. Paintings.
A solitary video screen in a room with still life photographs and text positioned on the wall. The space seemed very sparse. The subject matter of the photos aided that. I enjoyed its minimal design. The text, which I can't remember specifically, complements the photographs. I enjoyed the way the text enlivened the static still lives.

One piece I really enjoyed was a continuous analog projection obstructed by a metal bar. A stripe of color moving from left to right against small green background upon a white wall can be noticed. I liked this piece because it appeared very simple. I think it is a very smart way of representing time, space and motion, if that was its intention.

Soviet Art Photography
I visited the Zimmerli Art Museum to see the exhibition, "Soviet Art Photography." Much of the work is black and white, with the exception of one series of experimental color prints. In general, the photographs are very formal. Many of the prints utilize line and shadow in ways that carry some literary value. I find that most interesting about the show as a whole. I really enjoyed Vladimir Kupriyanov’s work. The crumpled paper adds to the feeling of nostalgia that I experienced when looking at his images. Not only does the image reflect age, but the material does as well. The gallery space itself is also appealing. Much like the photographic scenes, the photographs are hung in a manner that conveys order and simplicity.
