THE GALLERY SPACE ATTEMPTS TO CREATE EXPERIENCE, CONVERSATION, RELIEF, ESCAPE, QUESTIONINGS, DOCUMENTATION AND ARCHIVING INFORMATION, CHALLENGING CODES, PHILOSOPHY, PUSHES HUMAN PROGRESSION AND EVOLUTION. PRESENCE MAKES A GALLERY EXPERIENCE ABSORBING AND ENCHANTING.
ART MOVES WITH SOCIETY AND TECHNOLOGY, SO INHERENTLY IT’S CONCEPTS AND MATERIALS DEVELOP WITH SUCH PHENOMENA. OLD METHODS WILL TODAY RENDER ANY GALLERY SPACE IRRELEVANT.
MODERN WORKS CAN MAINTAIN A SENSE OF RELEVANCE THROUGH THEIR FEELING OF PRESENCE AND INNOVATION.
PRESENCE HAS NO INTRINSIC MATERIAL BOUND, AND CAN BE FOUND IN BODY AND PERFORMANCE, OBJECT, SPACE AND COLOUR. THE SENSE OF PRESENCE CAUSED BY THESE ELEMENTS IS AFFECTED BY SCALE, INTENSITY, FORM, MOVEMENT, AND OF COURSE; INNOVATION.
THINGS LOOSE PRESENCE AS THEY BECOME BANAL, SO AS ONE ‘MATERIAL’ OR ONE USE OF A MATERIAL LOSES ITS INNOVATIVE PRESENCE, AN ARTIST IS OBLIGED TO SEARCH ‘NEW’ IN ORDER TO CREATE WITH RELEVANCE AND PRESENCE.
