(Straight from the horse's mouth).
Day one.
January 21st 2015.
Carlos Bunga. (Portuguese artist).
Carlos Bunga's work is concerned with space and reflects the architecture of the space he is working in e.g. loosely site specific. He talked about the humanisation of artefacts' considering the similarities between body systems and the system of the city landscape ref:Research Seminars (Dr Stephen Thompson). November 26th 2014. Carlos discussed the processes involved in his art practice talking about the development of the realisation of an imaginative state into reality.
Renata Lucas. (Brazilian artist).
Renata Lucas is also concerned with space in her work, however Renata is more active in the sense that the work endeavours to bring social accessible spaces into gallery spaces, breaking barriers between different social communities. Essentially this artist is eliminating the barriers between environments (controlled spaces) and offering accessibility to places that perhaps would normally be severed from the public realm. This artist reminded me of artists such as Johnny Hardstaff whom I referenced in my degree dissertation, except Renata Lucas is more socially engaged. This manipulation of control could be an avenue for the exploration module.
