About the Installation..
Title: Brain Storm
Medium: Mixed Materials
Desription: Brain Storm is a contribution to the ongoing pop-up art coutnermovement to traditional galleries. The content itself is determined by how each experiencer perceives the installation. It is essentially a blank canvas for self-expression where the intent of the artist does not matter as much as the interpretation of the experiencer. Thus the experiencer can be the artist and develop their own meaning.
