Response to Alternative Exhibition Formats Slideshow

Cai Guo-Quiang has an inspirational use of format in his work. He uses big numbers of real stuffed animals to grab the viewers attention, then keeps your attention by using movement in his work. Lastly, presenting his work as a photograph further emphasizes the feeling of movement in his work because it appears as if he's taken a picture of something as it is actually in motion. When I get back from break I plan to focus on a technique I discovered and enjoy. I draw with a sharpie on tracing-paper, then color on the other side with paint-pens. It gives the work a slightly 3-D look and gives me the opportunity to add more emotion to the drawings I traced.
