24.11.20 Group meeting with Andrea (and part timers)
We discussed the assessment requirements for MF7004:
Define terminology in terms of my own context eg the 5 words to describe my practice
Looking for
- editing
- richness of content
- awareness of relations to practice
Sometimes leaving things out is better than putting them in. Also, your audience has knowledge.
Folder:
Edit content, be explicit around position as artist.
Accentuate what is relevant for this module.
- 'Whose body?': Think about my body in relation to other bodies.
- Performance: what is it specifically for me? Performance as an act of body movement? Look at Performance theory. Are my performances 'just' a drawing/sketch which inform my static sculptures or are they more than significant than that? Live performance is not the same as a video of a live performance. I don't really want my final outcome to be videos because of the importance of presence, touch, surface and physicality in my practice.
- Assemblages: They are about balancing multiple selves/parts. Like 3D collages. Fragmentation, precarity, deconstructed, made into parts, dynamic, changeable. Look at Avant garde art.
Annette Messager - objects relating to other objects.
Look at Mike Kelley - transgressive, subversive.
Exhibitions:
Don't worry if you can't visit exhibitions. Reflect on it. How will this affect the art world? And my practice? Look at films, art programmes, YouTube videos, read literature.
This made me think of Siri's Hustvedt's artist protagonist in her novel, 'The Blazing World', and her hot sculptures. How I would love to see these, or, indeed, make them! Also, other novels that have influenced me recently are - Frankenstein (Self and Other, fabrication and assembling parts), and the latest Hilary Mantel (torture!).
Identity: Belonging, half English, half Danish, Gemini, overthinker
Situate my work. Don't open too many ideas which won't fit.
Presentation: Pre-record it, but it'll be assessed live. Last slide - where I'm hoping to go in the next module. Proposal is separate, but it can be used as a launchpad for the presentation.
Proposal: Look at previous statements/presentations. Think about the connections between what's happened on the course and what you plan to do next. Distill it. It's like a funding or exhibition proposal. Reference folder and research in proposal.
5th Jan - Folder feedback
12th Jan - Presentation Assessment, proposal and folder
Time: Consider how important time is in my practice. Do I need to include it?
