Exhibited and Curated by Sharon Mellor, Carmen Mullen, Daniel O’Neill and Quynh Tran
Date: 12/03/09
What is it about? Unusual that I’m going to review my own exhibition, but this is just an extra review that I like to do. And our theme is that sometimes that even the most dull, everyday life can be turned into something very magical and special to each person’s eyes; this is our interpretation of this.
What’s Interesting? Split between 2 elective galleries, it has a very neat layout that sits in between the photography section (elective gallery 1) and the paintings by Daniel O’Neill (elective gallery 2). And interestingly, many people thought that going through the artworks in order, is like transitioning from childhood-like playfulness and innocence, to the dull-looking everyday life that some adults have lost them for some time. And it was nice to see some people commenting on my piece, which I refuse to call it artwork and instead, call it an unusual version of a narrative comic.
What’s Not So Interesting? Nothing, but some people suggested that there should be more objects, more pieces of artwork and bits that people keep telling me to put some more (although in my opinion, adding more objects will only increase the spoilt look of the gallery and that I don’t like crowded objects ruining the view).
Overall? At least, the exhibition made many people put a smile on their face, though barely a few people actually came to write their comments.
