seek exhibition

How I would describe the exhibition; I thought the exhibition was interesting to see how Seek artists are thinking. They are thinking about child poverty and how they came up with the idea of how to help kids with food and clothes by making art and donating it to people who would give food or clothes. Thats why I think it's interesting to see artists making work instead of money to donate to kids. The collaboration that Seek artists came up with, was the idea of art donations for kids and their family in New Zealand that are finding it hard to get food or clothes.  So the Seek artist have a collaboration of helping kids, making art work, donations. The donations are going to kids in the local area of Mangere. It says that the Seek group are making a change for kids.

I'm thinking that making 1565 drawing would be hard work I think, because they are all different works but what Bill Riley was saying, was that each of them would do their part, like Dion would do the background color, Bill would do the painting and James would his part, drawing.

The artists are trying to achieve by inviting local people in Mangere to provide clothing, shoes or canned food for kids in Mangere who need it the most. Also, Seek artists are trying to achieve something like having a color-in wall, which is good for the kids that get the chance to draw or color in the wall which I like doing my self, is drawing on the wall.

The difference between this exhibition and a normal exhibition is that at a normal exhibition people get to see paintings or sculpture work on display but you can't touch it, also if you want whatever is on display  you have to pay for the art work, but whereas the Seek artists they have a different idea of display. All they do is make art work, put it on display, and if people want it all they have to do is donate clothing or canned food, then they get to take home the art work they wanted.
