Natasha Cox

Natasha Cox will be investigating the participation of the ‘private view’ as an event.

The private view only invites a certain amount of interaction and demands we behave in a particular fashion. How do we interact /engage with each other and art works.

What unnoticed action take place at these events. Does anyone actually look at the work? What do people really talk about?

Anne de Vries
"By creating staged images with common everyday objects and removing them from their original context and stylizing it ,the artificiality of the mundane gets emphasized. The private view is a performance and the ones who attend are the performers."

Erwing Goffman explains we must look at the world through a frame, everything is performed, and this is expressed in these photographs.
