Searching for Inspiration

[Gavin]

I am a martial artist, but I am also an artist, in the fine art sense. I have to fill a room with something for an art exhibition. It can be filled with anything, for people to come and look at? got any ideas? It's really important, i'm stressing about it. In other words, if you had the use of an empty room, what would u do or put in it?

Is there a theme to your request? Is someone else asking you to fill a room for them? If so, did they make any specific request?

No not at all. It can be anything. A performance, some objects. what would u, as a martial artist enthusiast do? I am very stressed out with this creative block and need some advice.

 

[tshadowchaser]

paintings , landscapes, portraits, etc.



sculptures: human, objects, free forms



if you had an exceptional collection of engravings on weapons or weapons of the finest craftsmanship they could be used

If you are an artist, then your inspiration should be "self creation"

 

[Gavin]

I am having trouble finding my inner creation. Is there any martial arts exercises anyone can suggest that would help bring my creative quality out?

 

[Gavin]

exercises that would help stimulate the mind maybe? I am open to suggestions.

 

[47MartialMan]

mediation? walks? mueseums?

I would put all my dojo stuff in it so I could work out and also have a microbrewery off to one side so when I am done with my workout I wouldn't have to walk so far down the street to the pub.

I would have a color theme of red and black with a touch of white, and maybe yellow. I'd have people on platforms in strategic places around the room performing interesting kata (maybe some weapons forms) but have them not interacting with the audience - like living statues, and perhaps even have some two man stuff. I'd have on display all kinds of weapons in black or red cases on the walls, and/or under glass top table displays throughout the room. I might also do a black and white photo wall, maybe with the photos in special effects like soft glow showing people in different and interesting gi styles, or in interesting MA poses. If it's something you want people to stay for you should have comfy places for them to sit. How many people are you expecting to visit this display? Obviously, I can spend a lot of money quickly :uhyeah:. What is your budget?

Now there is an idea!

I had the same "problem" at my house. The room is L shaped. And I actually did turn the long part into a dojo and the short part into my brewery!

I use my little studio for working out and for doing private lessons with students.

Someday, when I build a new house, I hope to expand the operation. And maybe find a new place for my brew. The smell in the summer is quite pungent.
