Last night I went to a collaborative art exhibition called Disband, to commemorate 40 years since the Beatles broke up. But the artworks were all themed around the concept of a break up. There were some really nice pieces there, but almost all of them made me feel totally bummed out and brought back some sad feelings about my last break up. There was one piece in particular that struck a chord with me; it was digital print on cotton which then had embroidered the words, 'all I do is miss you and the way things used to be' I found that this one affected me the most, I think because I often weave words like this into my art and they're really simple. So that made me want to burst into tears. As an exhibition overall, I found it to be pretty patchy in some areas; I wouldn't have known it was in memory of the Beatles if I hadn't read it on the poster. And I found that all of the artists approached the concept from the same angle- as in they were the ones being broken up with. There was a good variety of mediums between the artists at least. And there was a lot of skill showcased in the pieces. I just grow pretty tired of airy fairy girly art really easily unless it has some depth or skill or technique as well.
