Hey there!

Are you doing Exploring Interactions or Exploring Transitions? And what text are you studying?

[jessgee]

Hi Beatroot

I am studying The story of Tom Brennan and exploring transitions

[beatroot]

I didn't do 'The Story of Tom Brennan' but I did do Exploring Transitions.
I'm not obviously familiar with your text but will try my best to suggest some visual ORTs (that I've studied in Visual Arts)

- The Merzbau (Kurt Schwitters): This work is an installation and is forever changing as the artist keeps on adding stuff into his work, making the work impermanent. Could possibly connect to the whole idea of exploring transitions? as the historical context of the work influences the artist to explore these different transitions in himself and in his work.
- The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (Damien Hirst): This work is all about accepting death as a normal part of life which can definitely relate back to the exploring transitions elective.
- Les Demoseilles d'Avignon (The Young Ladies of Avignon) (Pablo Picasso): I personally think that this work is a feminist piece as it presents light towards prostitutes in Avignon and provides the audience and society the opportunity to accept their occupation and welcome them into the wider society (sounds stupid within today's context but bare in mind that the painting was made in 1907, where society was still very very conservative)
- The Third of May (Francisco Goya): Explores the extremes of war, surrendering and death.
- Guernica (Pablo Picasso): Similar themes to 'The Third of May'

If you need me to clarify any of these works further, feel free to reply back to this thread
