Second Year Site Specific Exhibition

We were given the task to visit a few exhibitions that were created by the 2nd year students around Swansea. I began to look in Peppermint where I didn't really understand what was going on. I didn't see much in the space and there was no clear indication on what this specific exhibition was about. However I still did find this piece interesting. Just across from this, there was a laptop displaying a video of a time lapse where two clips of wind street were overlapping each other, from different times of the day. I liked this piece because I find the contrast in day time, to night time in wind street very fascinating and found myself watching it for a while. I thought that maybe this plasic/rubbish man was displaying the contrast in nnight and day time also but in sculpture form.Other than that, I didn't think much more of this particular site.



I then visited the Grand Theatre site exhibition where, if I can remember correctly, was a piece that was focused on the first ever female to perform at the Grand. I found the layout of this very intriguing as I loved the old style that is displayed. The clothes were shown out on the table with some interesting objects and facts about this. I'm very interesting in this subject, women in history and old fashioned items.
I didn't really find out much about the other works within this area but I did enjoy this specific exhibition overall.
         I then travelled to two other locations around Swansea and unfortunately could not find any of these exhibitions. I was then later told we were given the wrong locations! Very disappointing but I still got to experience some work that I may have to compelete in the near future.
