Tate Modern Review

The name of the exhibition I visited was the Transformed Vision exhibition held at the Tate Modern. There were many artists such as Thomas Hirscharn, Germaine Richier, Allan sekula, Mark Rothko, Miyako Ishiuchi and Gerald richler. I Observed this exhibition was very war orientated and as the exhibition progressed it told a story. My immediate reaction was that from the beginning the pieces were very bold and created a very gloomy and dark atmosphere which conveyed very deep emotion and it felt to me like depression. Emotion as to be expected made frequent appearances throughout although a piece that undoubtedly caught my eye was a piece by Thomas Hirscharn found at the entrance of the exhibition I found this sculpture very captivating as it was made from everyday materials but looked like deformed figures which made me feel quite emotional. There are connections between he work in this exhibition and my work. This exhibition shocks and provokes a public reaction through some of its horrific imagery and I enjoy making work to enhance a public reaction and I future I hope to create more emotive work. Overall I don't think this exhibition requires a open mind as it draws in the sympathy of the audience.
