Jenny - Day 4

Ruddt Peter mentioned the importance of presentation which resonated with me throughout the entirety of the talk. The meaning and interpretation of an object can be changed, manipulated and influenced by the way in which it is presented, it is one of the vital elements when exhibiting.

It's hard to imaging such a personal object in situ, on the body, when it is displayed in a 'flat' way. Incorporating installation into the presentation of a series of work not only captivates the audience and draws them in on a more sensory level but it also allows interaction and communication with the audience, carrying on the dialogue between the artist, theme, product and wearer.

The meaning and in turn the response to a piece can also be altered through the presentation. It would be fun to play around with presentation and to witness the different responses people would have towards the work displayed in various ways.
