There were 5 exhibitions in the Museum and I was told to select 1 exhibition.
I was clueless at first of which one to choose to share my point of views for this assignment.
After further research and questioning myself again and again,
I chose 'Last Drop' exhibition- Jason Lim.
From research:
For Jason’s exhibition, Joyce wanted to exhibit his previous performances of Last Drop in a manner that brought forth the various similarities, differences and underlying theme behind them. It was also meant to demonstrate to the public the artist’s signature ’style’ and explain the fluid nature of performance art as well. To do this, both Joyce and Jason agreed that the performances should be shown in both videos and stills in a progressive timeline.
During the discussion between artist and curator, it was decided that Jason would perform Last drop on the exhibition opening night and display the ‘props’ to be used in the gallery prior to that. Of course, it was Jason who arranged the display (the man’s got a very good aesthetic sense) in a manner that drew the eye and curiosity of the viewer. One couldn’t help but associate the presentation with the images in the screens - I know my imagination conjured up various possible scenarios, building-up anticipation for his performance to come.
Each artist in this exhibition is a ’star attraction’ and thus has a ‘personalised’ gallery with their names on the gallery doors, accompanied with his/her very own colour plane - Jason’s is yellow.
Jason Lim really inspires me in this modern arts industry greatly.
Thinking out of the box and being a creative person to produce 'something' by ourselves. At the same time, using talented ways to attract the viewers' to admire our works. Our works can allow the viewers' to think and reflect about it.
Materials are important in order for us to create 'something' out creatively.
Furthermore, Jason Lim has a powerful mindset to do a special performance that no one has ever done it. I admired his courage and patience to learn it.
For instance, the glasses of his own performance. Woah, it was 'WOW'.
Lastly, I really hope that if you people are freeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
Please go to this Awesome Museum to take a look.
It will definitely be a marvelous experience! :D
