Individual project due
For Week 3:
Today in class we looked at your images and I gave you artists (see under resources artists list) to look at in the context of your work. I would like you to take some time and view their work and note your reaction. What do you notice in their work that is different than yours and what might be similar? Do you identify with any of them?
Continuing with exploring your practice, for next week I want you to bring 10 more images. The images should still contain the subject matter you most interested in, only this time I want you to pay attention to the place in the image.
In this evening's screening, Pepón Osorio talked about recreating a childhood experience and asked us to look at it in a new way in a gallery, as in his piece En la barbaria no se llora (No Crying Allowed in the Barbershop) (1994). Think about a personal experience that you could install in a gallery setting. How might your perception of that memory change?
Wether the place in your image is physical, a metaphor, staged, ephemeral, constant. What moods does it evoke? How does it support your subject matter? Does it change or is it the same?
