The work I would like to collect is
the one from Mary Boone Gallery. They display a
work-“Forge” by Ai Weiwei, who
is a Chinese contemporary artist. When I first saw
his work in gallery, I was
attracted by his unique idea. Not like other artist, his work
offers new way to
contemplate the three-dimensional space. The twisted steel
covering the gallery
floor and the huge photograph on the wall seems like a r
eflection of them. It represents
the historical event which is China’s horrible
earthquake in 2008, which killed
seventy thousands people. The steels are from a
school buildings in China that
destroyed by earthquake. I like this work because it
conveys the sad moment
through the real events. If I could collect this work, I would
display it for
many people because it can be a memorial for the all victims from the
disaster.
The work I don’t
really like is the one display in Marborough Gallery. It is a work of Jonah Freeman and Justin Lower,
named “Stray Light Grey”. This work seems like a house that with many rooms. But
I is not normal house, it is very unrealistic. The door which looks like a big
hole on the wall was placed inside the bath, so that we have to walk through the
bath to get other room. In other room, there was a dentistry-chair. It looks
very old and dirty and I couldn’t figure out why it was placed there. There are
too many rooms with darkness and most them didn’t attracted me at all. I had
difficulty to figure out what this work is about, also I couldn’t find out what
is the point that artist tried to show or tell us through their work.
