Last week I visited 3 galleries in Dundee. These were the V&A, the Dundee Contemporary Arts Centre and The McManus. Each gallery offered a different angle on art and photography. The V&A was interesting because there was such a wide range of art within the same exhibition.

Above on the left there is a very detailed model of the Scott Monument which has encouraged me to think about the smallest details in my work, however insignificant these things may seem. In the middle is a light situated in a purple glass box. The small side room had a few of these dotted about it. The colour of the light set a certain tone to the room of warmth and homeliness which was complimented by the strong wood smell. Finally the far right is a white dress which has been designed for a bride on her wedding day. I was taken in by the ruffles in the skirt of the piece because they demonstrate symmetry which is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

However, my most preferred gallery of the day was the Dundee Contemporary Arts Centre. I felt that the work here showed a story throughout and all of the pictures in the Santiago Sierra Black Flag exhibition were cohesive as a collection.

Above are some of my favourites from the collection. The main reason why I fell in love with this work is because they are all in black and white. The levels of contrast in the pieces are amazing and really captivated me as the audience. However the main piece of this exhibition was the black flag at the north and south poles.

Not only are these images stunning in their composition and framing, but the concept behind them is so strong and the way that the image from the south pole has been flipped upside down, below the north pole gives the piece a sense of realism because this is indeed where each location is in relation to the other.

All images have been taken by myself on my iPhone.
