Tacita Dean exhibit

I visited the Tacita Dean exhibit and thought it was slightly more interesting than the Anri Sala exhibit we had to visit at the Marian Goodman Gallery earlier on in the semester. When I walked into the exhibition, I thought the photos of the clouds were a bit strange. Then I read the words on the wall and I thought the concept of “….my English breath in foreign clouds” and how she tied that together in the photos on the wall. It was interesting seeing the different types of clouds on the wall. Some of them were clouds common to see when the weather is full of rain and others were clouds you saw on a day when the sun is fully out with a blue sky surrounding it. I’d like to know what her motive was in choosing the color patterns for the different clouds. Some of them are high quality and show the bright blue clouds, and some of them were shades of gray, as well as clouds that looked abstract that could have came from outer space. The other portion that I thought that was cool was the room that had the random household objects in it. I wasn’t sure of the reasoning behind it but I thought it looked home-y when I walked into the room which felt comforting after seeing all of the clouds.
