Collective Exhibition| UPDATED

There have been many changes to the idea of our collective exhibition, but as of this week we have finally settled on an idea that will satisfy the entire group and not be too rushed or ill considered the week before the exhibition. After a secondary 2:1 meeting with Theory Tutor (JDM) and Tutor (Elizabeth… Continue reading Collective Exhibition| UPDATED

Theory Tutorial| JDM|

Collaborative Presentation The theory tutorial meting on Thursday 26th yielded another set of interesting changes to the exhibition outcome. Essentially, we need a deeper investigation or specificity in what sort of ‘institution critique we will be making in the exhibition. Although John (JDM) was excited about the prospect of the gallery gist shop, he feels that ‘it can be made… Continue reading Theory Tutorial| JDM|

Collaborative Research Catalogue

An important part is of the collaborative outcome is the production of the Collective Research Catalogue. something that above all unites all of our efforts, both together and individually we are exploring the research (images, quotes, videos’ etc.) that have universally contributed to our practise.

There is a level… Continue reading A0 Print – Sometime A Photograph is All You Need!

Political Aesthetics: A New Beginning

The aestheticization of politics was an idea first coined by Walter Benjamin as being a key ingredient to Fascist regimes. In this theory, life and the affairs of living are conceived of as innately artistic, and related to as such politically. Politics are in turn viewed as artistic, and structured like an art form which reciprocates the artistic conception of life being seen as art.… Continue reading Political Aesthetics: A New Beginning

A Conversation with John Baldessari

My practise this year is an exploration of contemporary modes of portraiture and photography by analysing historical examples and theoretical discourse relating to appropriation and copyright. I an very much interested in the ‘deconstruction of traditional modes/form/notions surrounding portraiture in its most formal sense, and feel that the theoretical discourse of John Baldessari has been… Continue reading A Conversation with John Baldessari
