On thursday the 13th October, we all had a meeting in the Shaun Project space where we were shown different pictures of the events that went on at the Frieze Art Faire in London last week. All of the art in the images rainged from painting to sculpture to preformance. This was a good oppertunity to experience what the Frieze would have been like and looking at the varience of art there, i'll be looking to go there the next time.
When the meeting was over, we all had a trip to the NGCA for the final time before it would shut down. There, we would get to see the artwork of Graham Dolphin, including his piece that was made from 20 or so portraits created by complete strangers that were given nothing but details of what Graham looked like. I thought this was a great idea as it would test peopes minds. by being given only the details of what Graham looks like, he was able to create this work of art, created for him by people he had never met. Graham also likes to replicate the grafittied iconic objects, such as the Abbey Road street sign and the Kurt Cobaine park bench.
