Project 3 - Building Narrative


The Client
  • From old money. Very good schooling and education and realises how privileged he is because of this
  • Perfectionist
  • Likes observing culture and society
  • Is not afraid of being seen or of the gallery being a focal point of culture.
  • Wants to give back to society
  • Does not like idea of art being too frivolous
  • Believes the average mug should be able to understand true art
  • Likes getting his hands dirty.
  • Could run workshops for budding artists
  • Holds social functions just so he can observe society.
  • Prefers sculptures to paintings
  • Believes art should be the focal point, not the building

The Narrative
A modern gallery for a wealthy man wishing to provide society with a place containing art that is easy to understand.


The Art
  • The Art style chosen was based around the work of Australian artist Robert Owen.
  • In particular his work: Cadence #1 (a sort span of time)
  • Cadence #1 was created through a very structured recording of Owen’s emotions every half hour over 80 days.
  • The resulting artwork has over 2500 separate colour tones.
  • Whilst effectively coded information, it is very easy to understand and relate to and viewers find themselves applying their own code to the colours.
