Alternative Exhibitions Formats Response


Personally, I find it more interesting when the artist displays their work in clever ways like Barry McGee. I sometimes find framed pictures to be simple and boring to look at. This type of setup fails to grasp my attention and interest me. With Barry McGee's work, I feel as if I am apart of the artwork and his format is visaully very appealing to all ages. His unique style/format helps me to understand the type of crazy and individual artist he is. It shows that he is not afraid to take risks with his artwork. McGee takes up a lot of space when displaying his artwork, spreading his work across various walls; some of his artwork even pops out from the walls. McGee also places his artwork so that they make interesting shapes and patterns. I think art work that is displayed in a fun and different format automatically attracts viewers.
