2007 BFA Graduates Showing at the Blue Oyster Gallery

At the end of last year I spent an afternoon viewing the 2007 BFA graduates work exhibited at the art school; it encourages me greatly to find that now some of that work is being displayed at the Blue Oyster Gallery. One work that is memorable to me, that is now on display was that of... Although the installation was not particularly appealing to me , I nonetheless was able to see the tremendous amount of skill and thought that was contained within the work. I also found the interactive nature to be very effective in immersing the audience in the work and, thus, it perhaps more effectively conveyed the artists intention. The work involves a landscape of torn cardboard boxes amongst which were placed (as if just, seemingly, abandoned) televisions displaying... Amongst this landscape sits a retro looking, plastic rocket ship which may be entered by the observer. the installation thus involves moving image which must be located by sound (as the televisions are hidden amongst the cardboard landscape) and a tactile, rocket ship built to be entered. The audience has clearly been very well considered in this work.
