Tate Modern// Exhibition Research

   

A visit to the Tate modern, saw an exploration of various sculptures and paintings which a reflection of complex topics and ideas were. Joseph Beuys ‘The Social Organism a work art’ which looks at the idea of nature being the centre of society. In comparison to other pieces in the exhibition space, his work it very minimal using lines and faint sketches to portray his idea of our naturalistic instincts need to be regarded. In contrast, Jannis Kounellis with her work of ‘Untitled 1968’ showed a large wooden frame layered with various woollen fabrics. This piece was explored whilst creating other sculptures out of ‘un conventional ‘non-art’ pieces’. I liked this piece as I feel it reflected the idea of nature and using natural resources similar to Joseph Beuys work. Using natural materials and the natural world is something that I would like to further research as it is a large contrast to what society is like today whilst also combining this together.
