thank you & next week

thank you for your postings, ideas & sense of collaboration, this is what it's all about!
"perception requires participation" as the venice biennale banner once read....

for next class: please continue to work on your models & artwork, refining each as per discussed last class. The important thing is that we get a sense of truly "being there" in body and mind.
photograph your models. the camera serves as a sort of "third eye"—without getting too cosmic here—; and allows you to situate yourself as a person to-scale in relation [to the model]. In doing so, it opens up angles of vision which are not accessible to our naked eye. Similarly, experiment with different light modes: focused light, diffused / ambient light, moving light etc...an object will open different sides of itself to light, aka, definition of visibility :-* explore, explore, explore

for those of you doing performance-based work: document like mad! i want every angle explored, every fissure of perception you can think of exposed

DUE:
models / space & artwork narrative EXECUTED in FORM, in sequence. This is where you show us the full scope of your project so that we can inhabit it.

_ models: refined, pay attention to materials but also how it feels like TO BE and MOVE through that space.... what colours, temperatures, densities, sensations come into being...or make me come into being
—artwork: if space is installtion then comments above apply. If artwork is contained within space then EXECUTE each specifically (for instance: photography: I want to see what situations, characters, actions you portray and how lighting and camera angles reveal your narrative. if sculpture: 3d m,odels, either CG / sculpey etc, whichever works best (photograph them). if sound: mpg files. if video, video files with full narrative (can be documentation or original pieces)
_project name: 5 options
— artist statement: one paragraph describing your project. what it is about, what it does and how it does it. keep the tine objective (no "overly flowery" texts, we can place that elsewhere :-)

ALSO, CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE POST PROCESS PICS FROM TUESDAY HERE? I'D LIKE TO SHARE THESE WITH OUR MONDAY STUDIO, WHICH COULD BENEFIT FROM SEEING THE WORK YOU HAVE ACHIEVED SO FAR.

as an overall comment: I am delighted to share time with passionate individuals like yourselves, how you commit yourselves to your work and the way you help each other out— in true spirit of relatedness and criticality—excellence its what its about...let's keep going!

as always, any questions welcome

have a loveley evening
