Group critique (27.09.16): Death in a box

Critiques, Studio 4

The feedback from this silent critique was rather interesting. Main feedback included that the idea of a relationship and lovers, as connoted by stereotypical depictions of romance and passion, was clearly communicated with the work. There appeared to be turmoil between lovers with the contrast of visceral and idyllic objects, that is, the heart and rose respectively. Therefore, this critique brought to my attention that this formal content would not suit my institutional critique practice, despite it being ‘bad art’ in terms of using cliches and literal depictions.
