The first instillation artists work we looked at was called "Annlee You Proposes" by an artist called Liam Gillick, the artwork is on Level 5, and the theme is No Ghost Just A Shell, basses in the No Ghost Just A Shell room.
The whole room is based on Anlee You Proposes and inside are a variety of metal squares, all different colours and in different orders and arranged as seats and built up as though a wall or a chest of draws, the room is bright with lamps in all the corners, and 3 TV screens all of witch showing an animated video of a girl talking about something which is quite UN-nerving mixed with the coldness in the rooms presents a spooky and creepy feeling when your in this room. we couldn't quite work out the meaning for this but i think that it shows that most creepy/UN-natural things are usually kept in the dark and it makes it just as scary but this shows that it can be bright and lots of colours around, but it still makes it just as weird, so i think the room goes well with the video and it adds a creepy effect.
The second piece of work we looked at was called "Blood And Feathers" by Ana Mendieta on level 5 in the Ana Mendieta room with the theme of energy and process, and is a silent video projected onto the wall of a naked woman who covers herself in blood and the falls onto the floor and rolls around in feathers. The chairs to sit on are really comfy and its nice and warm in there which makes you feel more relaxed and its also quite dark in there so it gives people a feeling that they should be quite when watching it so its really quite in the room.
The meaning that we got from Blood and Feathers was that after she has rolled in the feathers, she emerges as a symbolised swan, to now show beauty and freedom.
