Bishop Gore comprehensive school
Guided tour
Some interesting questions arose when the group
engaged with Torsten Lauschmann’s work at the National Waterfont
Museum. The initial reaction, was that this work was strange but really
cool. Rebecca saw the work as, “how machines evolve”, whilst
Catherine thought that it was connected with “obsessive compulsive
disorders”. Morgan liked the noises created but thought the visual
stimuli lacked aesthetics. Joshua connected the work to Swansea’s
road maintenance as he commented, ”it sounds like roadwork’s
and busy Swansea”.
Niamh’s mural seemed to represent freedom for part of the group.
Whilst the Exposed Graffitti, which shines through the mural, was applauded
and Niamh was credited with respecting other peoples artwork.
Sara Rees’ work was very well received, with initial reactions such
as; “its amazing”, “hey theres a boat” (Michelle).
“its like a sea house” (Leah). “There’s a wooden
shack on the sea complete with cat flap”(Joe). “ There’s
no door (Catherine)”.
After closer inspection it was decided that there was a contrast based
on ostentatious second homes being compared with how some people live.
Concluding with several, “rich against poor”, comments and
the idea of competition in life and that, “all or most art is also
a competition” (Amy and Joe).
Moving on to Carwyn Evans’ work, “it's framing the world as
you see it” said Amy and Catherine enjoyed the fact it was repeated
three times, she believed representing past, present and future. Joshua
concluded, “everything won’t last long”.
Finally the group visited the Nowegian Church, viewing Rebecca Gould’s
Trojan Horse with “Wow” as some first impressions. The majority
of the group instantly made the connection to the Helen of Troy story
and thought that the sculpture had a very clever concept. Discussions
of construction took place and the Locws Set up video concluded our day.
