ART ADVENTURE_ Friday Night Music, London

Friday night music

  Portrait Gallery 

星期五晚上在倫敦的國家肖像美術館 National Portrait Gallery, 是富有音樂的藝術空間, 音樂徜徉繚繞, 牆上的人物觀眾也齊來共襄盛舉. 音樂家選擇適合曲風的空間, 發表他們獨特的音樂. 除音樂會的聆聽是免費入場, 美術館在每個星期五晚上開放素描教學. Portrait Gallery 室內陳設與藝術跟其他古典型態畫廊雷同, 但或許是音樂與學習的加持, 使得美術館像是個受歡迎的優雅仕女, 溫暖而有內涵, 吸引眾人前來 

這是一個生動而不尋常的表演方式, 不同於一般表演者, 此小提琴家邊拉小提琴一邊遊走在畫廊間, 彈奏出洋溢的樂聲

  

視覺樂聲由 Leah K. and Matthew G 聯合演出, 利用電子音樂結合現場演奏, 及生活上所產生的聲音,組合成聽起來像是在外太空的美妙的樂章, 並隨著迷幻的音樂產出不同的光影畫面

ART MAP_ The Wallace Collection Museum, London

The Wallace Collection Museum is located between bond street and Oxford street. The first impression to go into the main hall is gorgeous and splendid, features classic English decoration, where used to be a house of the Wallace. The collection includes French paintings and the Wallace Family private collection of armor and weapons. The route of visiting the gallery is fluent, walking into the end of the gallery as well as the start of the room,  where is an elegant gift shop. It is probably the atmosphere of classical environment; however, the experience is warm, nice and euphoric. In the middle of the house is a skylight window coffee shop, offering English tea and dessert. The Wallace Collection is definitely a fantastic place to visit in both knowledge and entertainment.

One find out is the concept seems related to the Book: Didier Maleuvre(1999) Museum Memories: History, Technique, Art 

The concept of Balzac's interior:

The beautiful is the concealed. Layer up layer of curtains hang over every corner of the house, draperies gathered in bunches and floods wrapping the room in dense chiaroscuro.

The curtain indulges the flight into three-dimensionality, not to supply more reality, but to turn reality into wide-scale trompe.

Reality is the blind spot of language, for its part, takes the real to be the inexpressible. ( language is romantically inclined to believe that an object acquires more reality the more it eludes linguistic description)

The outside of discourse is a production of discourse.

We are not divided between on the inside, a true sexual nature, and on the outside, sexuality only exists in sofa as there is a sexual discourse. Sexuality is immanent or interior to the discourse about sexuality. There is nothing beyond the curtain, all inside.

He says: when the finally wakes up, it finds itself half-enclosed in the platonic cave, divided between a real half and a not so real half, the reality we perceive is no more than representation.

The reflection: through his words, that tell what the feeling and obtained I have while visiting museums and galleries. The museum seems like theatres or watch TV programs that makes people exist in another  world. This also inspire me how important the experience of the museum and the gallery. This idea can bring into the project of nude exhibition in a coffee shop.

Various elegant wall papers for each single room 

The frame of the paintings is exquisitely carved and some of them are even bigger than paintings.
