Last month we visited the Try Me Gallery, which is a restoration process/private collection of piece. The collection is held up to museum like standards; with a standard 45 degree temperature, constant humidity, and light filteration devices. Since it is a private collection, unlike other galleries we have visited, this one wasn't open to the public; we had to get special permission and were lead by the registerer of the collection. During the visit, we jumped from topic to topic as we went around and discussed each piece. The weirdest thing about the gallery was that none of the pieces had placards up with their titles and artists, so for every piece we had to either ask, or just take a picture and look for it on the website later. Overall, I had a really great time at the gallery. It was really interesting to see all kinds of pieces in one space, not categorized by style or medium or year. Walking around, I noticed how different pieces were mounted and displayed- some on pedestals, others flush against the wall, and some taking up space in an installation kind of way. I think seeing the size of the pieces are what inspired me to go big with my sculpture. My favorite piece was this large, kind of ugly thing that looked like a mismatched fluffy comforter tacked to the wall. It seemed far too heavy to be pinned up to the wall, and I was intrigued by how it managed to hold its own weight. This is what inspired me to create a larger piece that regardless of its size, still stood up in an interesting way. Its yet to be seen if I actually achieve this but fingers crossed!
