Formal Analysis - Untitled

sofiahuang — 2022-04-13 01:39:36 UTC

In the artwork 'Untitled', the subject matter is the people and the the curry that was served, The space is inside the museum where people can interact with each other while eating the curry. In a way, movement played a huge role in the artwork, how the people interact with others, as well as enjoying the curry. There may be various movements going on at once, and it creates a collaborative experience forms relationships between the various subject matter. This shows that the artist wants to create an interactive piece combining both the subject matter (curry) with the people.

The artist and the audience interacts with each other within the artwork, Untitled. The audience interacts with the artwork by conversing with each other and interacts with the artist by eating the curry the artist cooked.

Analysis - Black Floor

sofiahuang — 2022-04-13 01:51:51 UTC

In the artwork Black Floor by Tania Bruguera, the artwork is like figure 5, where the audience interacts with the art object. The black floor is thermo sensitive, which creates a white mark when heat is applied on it. There is a large contrast between the floor, when heat is in contact with the floor. The colors black and white. When multiple people are interacting with the artwork at the same time, it creates a sense of collaboration. The intention of the artist was that people can all join together to contribute to this artwork, and have fun with it.

Analysis of formal qualities

2022-04-13 01:53:32 UTC

Audience participation:
The audience is an active participant in the artwork. The audience, artist and art object come together to become the artwork. Rikrit Tiravanija creates curry to give to audience members, who then sit in the area and eat the curry.

This engages the audience and emphasises the idea of participation and community that the artist intended to create. The fact that both the artist and the audience are brought to the level of “artwork” puts them on more equal terms, and allows the audience to be closer to the artist, instead of having the artist keep a distance from them.

Subject matter:
The artists uses food, specifically curry, as the art object, which he passes to the audience for them to eat.

The use of food was a powerful choice to emphasise the idea of collectivity. Food is commonly seen as a way to bring people together, with many celebrations centring around food, or eating food as a community. To eat food with someone else is to be vulnerable to them, to flaunt the humanness of both parties and create a sense of companionship with each other. The artist is likely trying to achieve this effect on a larger scale, bringing a togetherness to a space that is usually for solitary observation.

Repetition:
The artist repeatedly gives out curry to all the audience members. He serves the same amount of curry in the same way throughout the duration of the artwork.

The repetition creates a sense of predictability. Audience members were aware of what they were getting and understood how the artwork worked. This predictability likely puts the audience at ease, giving an overall feeling of comfort to the artwork. The comfortability aids in showing the intention of the artist to bring peace and community to the gallery :)

(Figure 3) Audience participation:

The artist serves food to the audience. Both individuals are considered a part of the artwork as it is the interaction between these people that completes the work. Neither can function without the other. Without the artist, there would be no one to cook and serve the curry to the audience. And without the audience, there would be no one to serve the curry to.

The space that the artwork is held in is wide and spacious. The lighting is warm and inviting, creating a cheery atmosphere. The artwork is experienced over a varied period of time. Unlike other artworks, the audience is the one that controls the pace of it, depending on the speed in which they consume their curry.

FORMAL QUALITIES EOA AND POA

2022-04-13 01:55:45 UTC

in the artwork Untitled (Free/still) , there is space, sound and time.
movement, space: The people who are participating in the artwork are consuming curry in a vast open space, with furniture such as chairs and tables. Since the subject matter, (the people), will constantly be changing, thus the way space is used would be ever-changing as well. For example, sometimes participants would be sitting down in particular ways, spread out or cluttered with one another.

Sound: Chattering, footsteps, cooking, and chewing sounds are being produced when the artwork is in play. Thus the environment is filled with irregular sounds which are never constant as the participants actions are not constant either.

Time: This artwork is presented in real-time as the audience is part of the artwork and is required to actively participate only when the art is being displayed, they are unable to take part on any other days

the artist and the audience interacts with each other within the artwork. the audience interacts with the artwork by communicating with each other and the interaction between the artist is him cooking curry for people.

In the Artwork the audience is the medium and the viewer at the same time as they participate in the work. the curry and the location is also all part of the work where the artwork is more of a activity and an idea then a physical art piece. the words or conversations that the participants have can also be considered an artwork where intentional and unintentional actions both contribute to what makes this artwork.

The audience interacts with the artwork by laying on the -insert paint name- floor, which leaves an imprint of the audience after staying there for a period of time.

in the artwork, the artist interacts with the audience. The audience also interacts with each other while eating the curry. The audience is part of the artwork, letting them experience it in the present time. There is also a process involved. The curry must first. be cooked, then served to the audience, and lastly the audience interaction with one another as they eat the curry.
Movement of the people eating, serving food, talking is all taking place simultaneously creating a crowded noisy scene.

Analysis of "Black Floor" by Tania Bruguera

2022-04-13 02:01:26 UTC

Contrast/Colour:
- There is a great contrast from floor that hasnt been touched and the floor that has an imprint, there are white imprints on the black floor which can be seen very easily even from a far due to the contrast of colours.
- this shows that even one person can leave a massive imprint on the big floor
- i believe that the artists reasoning for this is to show that even if one person is able to do uncover some of the artwork, you require the help of a lot of people to uncover the whole thing ?

Formal Analysis

2022-04-13 02:02:27 UTC

In Untitled, the work is made up from the artist interacting with the active audience. The artist cooks curry and serves it to the participants, who eat the curry and bond over it. The bonding, which the audience participates in and is made possible by the artist, creates a sense of collectivity within the space as the audience eats the curry.

'Untiltled' formal analysis

2022-04-13 02:03:28 UTC

The artist invites the audience to be a part of the artwork, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in the process that is eating the curry and interacting with people around them. Movement and space play a big role in the artwork. People are constantly moving around, people are moving to get the curry to go back to their seat, to talk to people etc. there is a lot of movement within that space which can spark interaction. The artwork itself is the audience interacting with each other with the food, space and artist serving as a medium for that interaction. Movement is a vital quality in the artwork as it facilitates and encourages audience interactions, which is an important goal the artist wanted to meet. Space too is a important quality in the artwork. Having that space for people to eat and enjoy food, to interact, to talk to one another. Space, physical and psychological, is created to encourage viewers to socialise and to overall just sit in the moment and enjoy the experience. Whether it'd be enjoying the curry on your own, or socialising with the people around you. The physical space is structured in a way where the audience is encouraged to sit with others, with the use of tables and chairs. They're encourages to take a seat, share a table with someone to facilitate that conversation. Psychological space is created as they already understand that this is an exhibition, they understand that they are supposed to interact in the artwork as they come into that space.

analysis of "untitled" by Rikrit Tiravanija

2022-04-13 02:06:20 UTC

-This artwork is a performative/interactive piece between the audience+artist+art object(the curry)
- the audience can walk around the SPACE and this creates the COMPOSITION of the room, therefore there is a lot of MOVEMENT from the making of the curry to the consumption of it.
- perhaps the artist is trying to show that food is a form of art and even giving free food to others is a form of art, questioning the very meaning of art itself

Formal analysis black floor

2022-04-13 02:07:27 UTC

In the artwork, movement of the audience, creates markings on the floor/ space given. It captures their footsteps. The marks created are light grey colour, contrasting to the dark black floor. This places emphasis on it, making it the focal point of the artwork. The space is quite large, giving the audience more freedom. The time is real-time as the audience is experiencing the artwork, as it is being completed with their presence and participation.

Black Floor
Contrast: The thermochromic ink and the black floor, creates a strong contrast as the ink is white while the floor is black are complementary color, thus this creates a strong difference between the ink and floor, making the audience notice the white ink first

Tania Bruguera(analysis)

2022-04-13 02:10:22 UTC

There is a focus on the collective. None can stand up until all are ready. The artwork is only complete when there is a complete circle.

Jalyn and Sofia - Black Floor Interpretation

sofiahuang — 2022-04-27 01:33:53 UTC

The floor is black (color), and changes color to white because of the thermochromic ink. Which causes people to actually interact with the floor, because of the heat that the human bodies have, in order to reveal something. Therefore they can lay on the floor together, repetition of the bodies/hands/etc, can create a collaborative experience for everyone.

interpretation of "Black floor"

2022-04-27 01:33:57 UTC

- I believe that the artists intentions when creating this art work was to have people collaborate and cooperate and realise how small they are in the grand scheme of things.

-the floor is large in relation to the average human so if you were to try and uncover the whole artwork on your own it would take a long while

-this shows that you may need the help of others to imprint on the artwork causing you to have to collaborate even if on a very small scale.

-it could also be used to show how the universe may be the "black floor"(colour) and we the humans are the tiny white stars in the sky, bountiful but small and when looking at the sky they just look like little specks

the medium of people combined with audience participation gives movement and sound.,The fact that the artwork consists of food, smell is also incorporated into the artwork.Not just any smell, but a fragrant one that attracts people to be in the artwork

Black floor(interpretation):

Formal qualities :
Time/value and contrast/emphasis

Through waiting, there is anticipation built when viewing the artwork in real life, further emphasising the white markings on the ground when finally revealed.

The element of waiting involved not only creates anticipation, but also a level of empathy adopted through the no man left behind mentality. This is most likely intentional: the work "black floor" by Tania Bruguera is an installation that aims to talk about the issues of immigration and migration and the emphasis on this sense of community could be linked to that.

interpretation of Black Floor

2022-04-27 01:39:39 UTC

Medium + Audience participation:
Forces audience to work together, and lay close to each other to achieve a collective goal.
creates a sense of community and lets the audience experience the power of teamwork.

Colour + Contrast:
Audience essentially lays on a black floor to reveal a pattern that is light grey/white in colour. This could represent a revealing of the truth or an extraction of the "good" from the "bad" via warmth.

Scale:
The room the artwork takes place in is quite large room, and requires quite a big audience. this emphasises the importance of collective work to achieve large-scale goals.

Black Floor

2022-04-27 01:39:59 UTC

the medium is the audience and it is a performative piece.
the place or stage is the black floor and the smell, visual and tactile brings the people to the art work.

repetition

2022-04-27 01:41:42 UTC

repetition of words,sounds,and actions are used in the artwork to convey the bustling atmosphere in the artwork.This open space where people come together and interact within a common space also contributes to the atmosphere

Black Floor, Tania Bruguera

2022-04-27 01:45:10 UTC

In the work, the artist uses a thermo-sensitive floor. The audience interacts with the floor, imprinting white marks on it with their body heat as they lie down. The marks created are a light, whitish colour, contrasting with the dark floor. This contrast helps place emphasis on the marks, making it the focal point of the artwork. The artist gathers the audience to lie down next to each other, forming a circular, closed shape. The people are equally spaced between each other, creating a pattern. The artwork takes place within a large, enclosed area.

The artwork takes place in real time, allowing for collaboration between the artist, the audience and the people within the audience.The use of the heat-sensitive medium allows the artist to capture the audience's participation within the work. The contrast between the marks and the floor places emphasis on the marks the audience has made, and hence makes their contribution and participation the main focus of the artwork. Additionally, the repetition created by the bodies creates a sense of collectivity; the audience works together to make up a pattern.

it is an art work that literally reflects the people and their thoughts feelings and physical forms. it also shows how nothing lasts forever through the fading theraml ink

interpretation of black floor

2022-04-27 01:45:36 UTC

intention: Tania [Bruguera, the artist] chose to put an image under a floor using thermochromic material - heat-sensitive material - because she loved the idea of making a horizontal mural.

But it's one which is a call to action, because there's no way that you can see this picture unless you join together with many, many other people.

Contrast & space
Contrast of the white markings revealed with body heat against the dark black floor.
Behind the black floor, the artist placed an image of a young Syrian migrant who fled to the UK from Homs and is now studying medicine. The portrait is hidden behind a large space, thus it will need the participation of many people to reveal it. Through this the artist conveys her idea for people to work together, inorder to uncover invisible things/ problems in our world.

Black Floor - Interpretation

2022-04-27 01:46:07 UTC

The artist invites the audience into the space, encouraging them to lie down on the Thermo ink-covered ground. They lie side by side or even in patterns. They are encouraged to come together to form a beautiful series of printed bodies and even patterns. Tania wants people to come together to make a change. The bodies that make art together are symbolic of how we have to come together to make a change, to make something beautiful. Each print has a similar 'base' shape, you'll probably see some form of a torso for every print. (done lying down) All the prints are white contrasting against the black floor. But at the same time, everybody's body is unique and their own. Her artwork touches on the migration crisis, and in a way, she breaks down barriers between people through the way her work is carried out. Strangers just come together and create an artwork, it doesn't matter who you are, but as long as you immerse in the work you start to become something bigger than yourself. She aims for her audience to understand that regardless of who we are, and where we're from, we are all part of something bigger than ourselves and that we are all humans. We may all come from different walks of life, but the artwork encourages the audience to break that barrier.

Black floor

2022-04-27 01:47:03 UTC

Artist intention was carried out with the help of the audience and is only possible with their participation as the artist needed many people's body heat in order for the work to come about. The colour of the floor turns lighter shade when the audience interacts by lying down which shows how when a society work together the change can be seen and if only one person lied down only one part of the floor would be lighter which shows that if only one person tried to solve a problem they would be incapable of solving the entire problem on their own.

黑地（2018）艺术家是大拿不归然

2022-04-27 01:48:57 UTC

正确的诠释：
这艺术品表示了移民危机，从那些人们的热气，会跟墨汁反应，这就能结识了人们的形式。这白色的墨，在黑色的地板上，有了巨大的对比。 tania 认为如果大家可以共同努力，我们就可以解决这民族危机的问题。

interpretation:
its about the migration crisis this can be seen through the ink reacting with heat, so when the heat of the people in the artwork will uncover the image underneath, which is shape of the body .

个人诠释：
- it shows the impact that people has on society, even though individually, they might not think they make an impact, but collectively as many people, they are able to create a big impact on society, shown through the emphasis of the white marks on the floor, that stand out, even from afar. The floor representing the world and the marks representing individuals.

-我个人认为这艺术品，显示了人类的巨大影响力，通过白色的墨，在黑色的地板上，有了巨大的对比，这就可以表示，虽然一个人的影响力不大，但是很多人聚在一起会有很多意想不到的影响。

black floor by tania bruguera

2022-04-27 01:49:15 UTC

there is a great contrast in the colour from the floor that has not been touched and the floor that has an imprint, are white imprints on the black floor which can be seen very easily which can be observed from a far distance as there is emphasis due the contrast in the white and black colour.

this shows that anyone and everyone can leave several imprints or even a massive imprint on the floor

i believe that the artist reasoning or intention of this artwork is for the audience to create a big artwork with the many handprints of the audience and it uncovers the entire artwork little by little. so for this artwork you need to help each other to uncover the artwork.

2022-04-27 01:49:35 UTC

the usage of the people to create visible tracks brings the idea of making people work together. The floor itself is. thermo sensitive, so when people interact with the floor, white markings are left behind. By participating together, the participants are required to work together to create an artwork

Interpretation of "Black Floor"

2022-04-27 01:50:33 UTC

Colour and Contrast: The overall artwork is monochromatic. White ink created due to the thermal heat absorbed by the bodies juxtaposes the black floor. The contrast allows the bodies' shapes to stand out. By physically imprinting the bodies' shapes, it shows the differences between each body structure. Even with the differences, it only shows how they are one together.

Unity: There are many people standing together in the artwork which shows there is a sense of unity. The people were instructed to lie down in a circular shape which literally shows there is no end and that there is continuity in their unity. The close proximity in which the people are in again reinforces this idea that they are strongly bonded together.
