Imagery Group

We were focusing on imagery in our exhibition books. Between the 5 books we were looking at we found many things different as well as many things the same with the way the images were handled. For example in a few of our books there was a obvious grid they were going off of such as the boxed images in Elizabeth's example and also the book we were given by Mia had a different grid as well. Both grids were completely different due to the face they were chosen for different reasons. The one on Margaret Kilgallen was kid of a "clustered" style grid of images which was most likely chosen since her style of art is also in that "clustered" style. Most of our other books were photography or paintings and sculpture installations which some bled off the page and others were strategically placed within the margins amongst plenty of whitespace. It was interesting to see the different play in the exhibition book for the Guggenheim versus the one about transcendence in art. In the Guggenheim book you see a clear approach that was very clean and organized with the intention of trying to just simply showcase the amazing work that is there while the other book had different things going on in different images leaving some full page bleed and others with multiple photos per page. The photographs in Emily's book represented the softness of the artwork which was appropriate for the exhibition while the Guggenheim is covering a much more wide range of art leaving that style a little more basic. In most all of the books the images were in CMYK except Jaclyn's book had some two-toned images as well. The books we were looking at were:

-The Guggenheim Collection (Jennifer)
-Margaret Kilgallen; In the Sweet Bye and Bye (Mia)
-Michael Sailstorfer Forst (Elizabeth)
-The Inward Eye; Transcendence in Contemporary Art (Emily)
-Eran Shakine; Sunny Side Up (Jaclyn)
