Work

The work I chose is done by Jacqueline Humphries and is displayed in Carnegie Museum of Art. It is done in special metallic pigments that glow under ultraviolet light. The work is actually three paintings displayed on three walls in one dark room and there’s a sofa in the middle of the room for viewer to sit on so that they can be surrounded by the paintings. This exhibition of Humphries stands out in the museum firstly because it is displayed in a dark room, contrary to most of other exhibition in the Museum. Besides, the paintings are mysteriously glowing in the dark, which I found to be very compelling.
