Landscape out side the gallery
I really enjoy the landscape in front of the gallery entrance. The lawn and the water work well together and I really like the use of water in this landscape. It becomes a mirror that reflects the sky, adding the sky as an element to the design. The sky, as a constantly changing element, gives the landscape a different feel, the ‘stillness’ of the landscape blending with the ‘movement’ of the changing sky.

Layout of the garllery
During my visit to the gallery, I paid attention to the spatial divisions and the circulation within the venue. As I have not yet fully confirmed the direction of my project, this may provide me with a reference for the design of the exhibition space at a later stage.

Artworks
Some of the artworks I photographed in the gallery. I agree with the idea that “art is not to be understood, it is to be felt”. During this visit, I stopped being overly concerned with the message and identity of the artist, but to focus more on the matter of feeling the work. The works I photographed were the ones that gave me great inner feeling, they may be bright and cheerful, or perhaps magnificent.

Spatial and art
This piece was so unusual that I didn’t even notice it at first, it was in a corner and consisted of only two different coloured lines. I stood in front of this work for a long time, and after observing it for a while, I felt the cleverness of this work, which makes full use of light and shadow to create a three-dimensional visual space, where you see the light and shadow from different angles and the shapes formed by the work are different.
