In Dion Hitchens presentation he talk a lot of how does he present and display the compositions on the public, such as galleries, coffee shop, public area, garden, and any stores, or shops. In my opinion, dealing with ideas working in the public is not a easy thing, this might be went through some processes and identifications, so the artist can show the work in the public, and this will take a lot of time to hold an exhibition in the public.
Furthermore, Dion mentions four important self-manufacture must be notice, for example, except the public space the other is competition for proposal, commission, and building contracts. The most important thing is building contracts, because when we want to display the work in the public, this motivate should be worked for the client and some of company, and we have to deal with the budget, some public response, vandalism, the durability, and some of consequences from public associations. Besides, building contract can build up the relationship between us and the client, this is the important process that we must to identification.
Next, in most of Dion publication work he create a lot of large objects, such as one of his public work called “Manukau City Square,” he collaboration with local artist Charels Koroneho to finish this sculpture. And the other sculpture work which called “Private Commission, Dunedin,” this is one of my favorite composition that Dion has combined with different medias like he use kind of white wire to make different human figures and body shapes, also the interesting thing is he work with family names on each objects. Therefore, the “Private” has been showed in the public gallery, when I see the photograph from the slideshow, the subject matter showed the different visual effect and become more attractive.
In conclusion, Dion Hitchens shows his ability and a lot of working experiences in the public, no matter the social architect and the drawing technology he always present his work very well for public place.
