Goshka Macuga

I was looking through one of my peers books that they had taken from the library today and came across this piece of work that I thought looked really fascinating. It was created by Polish artist Goshka Macuga, who according to http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/turnerprize2008/artists/macuga_work.shtm

'creates carefully staged, mixed-media installation'.

With the idea that I have had currently, I feel Macuga's work sounds really relevant in terms of exhibition installation.

In regards to the work I came across in particular, 'Architectural visions of early fancy in the gay morning of youth, and Dreams in the evening of life by JM Gandy, 1820', I feel it really creates a landscape environment sense. This is mainly due to the pylons connecting across constructed table platforms. Even though the scaffolding poles in the background of the exhibition may not be a part of the work I find these particularly interesting as they help to give a real sense of a constructed environment. I love how this, what appears to be a random assortment of structures and materials, almost creates a design model.
