Visual art exhibitions and events with a platform for critical writing
Marie Laywine, 'The land of the ever Young', acrylic on board, 2007. Photo: Tim Hammick. A large textured painting, acrylic on board with dimensions of 63"(H) x 64"(W) framed. The dominant colours are red and black. The photographer, Tim Hammick captured the reflection of the artist. It appears as though the reflection is speaking through the image. Hence the title of my exhibition 'SPEAKING with/in IMAGES'.
20 May - 9 June 2008
I plan to invite the public to record their reactions to some of my recent paintings using a questionnaire developed in conjunction with a Jungian analyst and a marketing consultant. The questionnaire will ask the viewer amongst other things, what images and feelings they associate with these works.The paintings will be exhibited in four intimate tent-like spaces in my studio to ensure the viewer is free from distraction and thus at liberty to reflect thoughtfully on the painting, his/her reaction to it, and the space to articulate those feelings.This exhibition is part of my ongoing research on the effects of participation in the exhibition space.
