Sometime before Christmas I went on a trip to Nottingham to go to the Nottingham Contemporary Museum.
At the time we went to visit the featured exhibition was by Geoffrey Farmer , one of Canada's leading artists.
Geoffrey Farmer's, 'Let's Make the Water Turn Black' was like a sculpture play. It is his most technically ambitious installation to date. There were over 70 featured sculptures that have been found from salvaged movie props,materials and discarded theatre sets that he presents on a large platform. Animated by computer and with coloured lights the sculptures move slowly in response to musical compositions.
The compositions being from a 1968 composition by Frank Zappa. Let's Make the Water Turn Black presents the six decades of the American musician's life.
I enjoyed seeing this work as it was defiantly something I hadn't seen before and the choreography of art wasn't what I expected to see. One I learn what the sculptures were about I learned to appreciate it more. Seeing the work also was helpful for the future as it gave little ideas of inspiration.
I would recommend if you live near the Nottingham Contemporary to go and take a look as there are always different exhibitions,shows and activities to go and do.
( Happy New Year as well :) )
