Inspiration: Katherine Kaminski

Through the internet, I have come across many interesting artists and projects. One particular installation of artist Katherine Kaminski caught my eye recently. This installation titled I Keep You Here to Stare At You When No One is Looking masterfully guides the viewer to look through a certain point to experience a brilliantly crafted world.

Inspiration: Jan Maarten Voskuil




These works by Jan Maarten Voskuil really excite me. The Netherlands' artist truly activates the spaces of the gallery with these warped geometric objects/ sculptures. In particular I find the work that engages the floor, the corners, etc. excellent in terms of incorporating the structural assets of the "white cube" (gallery).

Currently Reading

The most recent books I've been reading are Inside The White Cube: The Ideology of the Gallery Space penned by Brian O'Doherty and The Contingent Object of Contemporary Art authored by Martha Buskirk. These writings are part of my research on installation art and the gallery for my upcoming BFA thesis at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
