Altermodern exhibition at Tate BritainNavin Rawanchaikul- Places of rebirth
I like the scale of his painting and his referencing to advertising and comic books. The work shows where ever one may end up, they shall not forget their cultural identity from their place of birth.
Franz Ackermann- Gateway
I like the fact you go into a room and experience or be part the art work as oppose to typically one piece of art being the focal point on a wall. Ackermann looks into creating painting as forms of GPS technology. The works give you a sense of escapism into a different area, Ironically the watercolors are of different locations around the world [Ackermann's mental maps].

The great thing about this piece of art is, it looks familiar and yet it looks unfamiliar and weird. The picture was taken on a night with a full moon, and with long exposure more light is added to it; the image’s unfamiliarity arises from the fact it has no shadows.
All these artists share the concerns of spacial travel. All these artists involve spacial travel, whether its physical or psychological: traveling in a world of fiction, which all these art works can be associated with.
“A new modernity is emerging, reconfigured to an age of globalisation – understood in its economic, political and cultural aspects: an altermodern culture” Tate Britain
Changes these artists would’ve made in presenting their works.
Places of rebirth: Perhaps not including any text in the painting at all, hence letting the images tell the story.
Gateway: Perhaps adding sound to the room, of talking to locals all over the world in their native languages and accents, further adding to the escapism.
Fullmoon: The fact that this is supposed to be an unfamiliar location can be exaggerated further i.e more light to the image making it seem even more weird.
