TEXT: Inside the white cube. I have been reading inside the white cube . As I pretty much can’t not to any work for much longer ive basically had to pick something to do. This sort of feels a bit contrived and I don’t really like doing it, but I don’t want to wait any longer and hope I get an idea that I genuinely want to explore, because I really don’t know whether this will be in a day, or a day before the deadline, from experience it will probably be 1 week before the deadline, and I don’t want to get into that way of doing things again. So I’ve decided to go back and continue with an unresolved project from the first year. The theme is kind of borders/boundries. After visiting a lot of galleries and exhibitions for the audience brief, I started thinking about bundaries within the gallery space. Like at the Perhaps Something Perhaps Nothing opening, the invigilators standing at either end of the Rachel Whiteread sculptures really made it uncomfortable for the audience of the work, and changed how it was read. The audience being kept at a distance, DO NOT TOUCH,  standing here is fine, but here is too close. Also being watched isn’t very nice when your trying to look at work, I don’t like it anyway. So I started to think about how small interventions could change how a work is viewed and perceived by an audience.
