If not difficult, then at the very least, quite challenging in my opinion. <br /><br />As for all of us amateurs, well, you are right, I do not get paid for blogging. Perhaps you do. Congratulations, anonymous.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672060180035841416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-10256076811212117182009-07-23T13:40:44.583-04:002009-07-23T13:40:44.583-04:00This space is not difficult.

Perhaps it is boring to some people. You obviously do not like it. I just wanted to know if you enjoyed ANY of the previous installations in the same space, be it the Julian Opie, the Julianne Swartz, the Tony Feher, the Friends With You, or the Orly Genger? Am I forgetting one? I am just curious. I have said on a number of occasions that the entry pavilion is a highly difficulty space for an artist to work with for an installation. That said, I have felt that most of the attempts have been interesting at the very least.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672060180035841416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-23674400709872770412009-07-22T14:56:46.433-04:002009-07-22T14:56:46.433-04:00This installation is as boring as the others I'...This installation is as boring as the others I've seen at the IMA.<br />It is so boring your talking about the chains not the obvious. <br />It sucks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-66503144375361332592009-07-20T23:57:45.904-04:002009-07-20T23:57:45.904-04:00I was hoping that the containers would get filled ...I was hoping that the containers would get filled with water and then have some sort of prism effect when the sun was shing through them.....wishfull thinking!

I remember the first time I had one of those little plastic viewers, from Disney World or some other theme park when I was a kid, and it too used the same sort of ball chain attachment so that the viewer could double as a key ring. Whether Judith was thinking along these same lines or simply chose the ball chain for their purely material and aesthetic qualities we may not know. Then again, perhaps she will post here and let us know. By the way Judy, if you do read this, my apologies for missing the artist reception, I confused my days.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672060180035841416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-56805729696199259882009-07-17T20:14:47.519-04:002009-07-17T20:14:47.519-04:00Great to see you writing again, Scott.

Those type of chains were used more often up to the time period of the slides than today (IMO). Even though the choice of ball chain provides a fairly secure suspension, a variety of materials would have worked. <br /><br />But for me, those ball chains are a tactile delight and inspires it's own reminiscences in harmony with the period transparencies.ArtistDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071204431931112784noreply@blogger.com
