sparkling….glistening….useful….but what is it ?

A very busy afternoon at the DLWP …. lots of visitors ….all over the building …..listening to the strange electronic music which formed part of the Dear Serge event. Artists and musicians everywhere offering a range of exciting and animated visual and sound imagery. In the gallery we encouraged visitors to try slow down and pay attention to one object and then describe it using a few words – later visitors were then asked to try and draw the described object (unseen) and then sent off to try and find it – the aim being to explore the gap between words and pictures …. some of our participants were very adept at using the descriptions to make an image – and even if they didn’t capture the object exactly it was interesting to explore the notion of interpretation…
