Task 5

In my visit to Seth Priceā€™s exhibition, his untitled video on the top floor had caught my interest the most. Isolated from the rest of the series, it was projected into a larger dark room into a centre screen. The video itself was a combination of his previous edited videos that resembled to somewhat of a conclusion of his series of works yet gave a strange feeling of being incomplete. It was practically an exhibition of his works but the whole idea of it was to make previously removed public works that were sold off to different individuals and basically made them public again essentially renewing its public access. These public works of old materials were used in he works downstairs but having them as a compilation in one video strengthens its availability. The dark atmosphere helped amplify the sounds as instead of headphones, the films audio is played on a loud speaker that filled the room. Its separation from the rest of the works into a specified room and its projection to the centre made it appear more important and is fitting as a last exhibit to see for its conclusive yet incomplete nature. Like an open-ended summary of the exhibition as a whole.
