Trip to Auckland Art Gallery





We got a chance to go and check out Auckland Art Gallery last week Friday.

Benefits from this trip, although it's in a gallery setting (something to consider for my final presentation):
  • Seeing how photographs are laid out and presented. 
  • The lighting that is used and how much light is being used. Like when you first enter into Fiona Pardington' exhibition, it's dark and the only light source there is, is lit above the photographs. 
  • How the photographs are framed. If they photographs have a border, colour, black and white etc.
  • The gap each frame is apart from each other and the photograph itself inside the frame. 
  • The scale of the pictures. 
Fiona Pardington has amazing photographs. The way they were set out and presented was good too.
I really like the first set of photographs (first room when you enter the exhibition). 


While we were in the city, we also got to check out Rebecca' studio. So it was good to check it out after visiting her exhibition 2 weeks ago. It ties in together from what she has worked on and what her research has been all about. 

It's kinda like the research we're doing for this project, as students, before we present our work.
