Listening to the Artists talk about MUJO gave me another perspective on how to see their work. The artist talk was helpful in two ways 1) it got me thinking of the work process from a professional perspective, not just projects for classes. It gave me an insight into how the workflow goes and how exciting it can be. 2) The talk opened my eyes to the artwork itself, the meaning behind each part, and how it all comes together to support and push a concept, it is like each part harmonizes to drive the concept forward. Additionally, the installation got me thinking of how concepts such as assembling and disassembling can be symbolically expressed through dance, sound, the dessert, and the sand.
Further, the curation of the project to me was interesting because it was site specific and had different ideas that both work well towards the concept. I think, often artists have to make decisions to change some parts of how the artwork is presented to adapt to the atmosphere and environment surrounding it.
