Choi Jeong-Hwa, Hubble Bubble, 2015, plastic colanders
This picture shows how an artist fulfilled the role of the artist helping us see the world in new or innovative ways. In this installation, the artist creates a green forest using plastic baskets. Visitors are allowed to walk in between the string of baskets, giving them a feeling that they are walking through a forest. Using these ordinary objects, it shows how art can be made out of anything an artist puts their mind to. This allows for the visitors to interact with the art and experience it in a new way.
Sarkis, Two Rainbows, 2015, prints, neon
Another example of helping us see the world in new and innovative ways. This installation are neon prints overlaid with neon lights in the shape of a rainbow. The prints are of stairs painted in rainbow colors. This installation represents civic resistance in Istanbul following the Gezi events, showing the change in the society. The bright colors cover up the sadness of the events that occurred. The stairs were later destroyed. This work of art is a reminder of the resistance in Istanbul and the spirit of its people.
On the spot with these.
