This is quite a good Tumblr to follow for book design inspo - could be helpful as part of your assessment 3 research.

Assessment 3 research - artists’ books

[jestyrrell-adad2016]

Ed Ruscha, Royal Road Test. 1967, book.

During the 1960s, Ruscha created a series of mass-produced, cheaply printed photographic books cataloguing the various kinds of banal roadside sites one might encounter on a typical drive through the American West, such as Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1962), Some Los Angeles Apartments (1966), and Nine Swimming Pools and a Broken Glass (1968). Ruscha’s books paid tribute to and slyly parodied the romantic vision of the road epitomized by writers and artists such as Jack Kerouac and Robert Frank, while also subverting the rapidly expanding market for what the artist described as “limited edition, individual, hand processed photos.” In Royal Road Test, Ruscha painstakingly documented himself dropping a vintage typewriter from a speeding Buick.

The experiment about the assessment3 - 1

After the first group meeting, we got some interesting and related idea about the toopic ”now”. One of them is like recording the same moment about one thing in the different areas. Therefore, i sent the massage to my friends and asked them to send me a photo of the sky at that moment. 

Then, i received more than 100 photos about the sky come from different areas around the world! Due to the reasons like time zones, seasons and weather, that is so suprise to see that how different the sky we own at the same time! One of the friend told me that the typhoon is coming in the city she lived. So, the sky shown in the tones like orange and red. Some of my friends study in the northern part of China and face the environmental problem like haze and sandstorms. Therefore, the sky all in the white colour and even could not see a little bit of blue. When these image of sky be stitching together, it will show a wonderful picture to the audience.

Beautiful experiment! @fifi-chan-1998 I wish this was higher resolution so we could see the individual images more clearly. 

Reminds me a little of this work: http://www.penelopeumbrico.net/Suns/Suns_Index.html

Hannah Black on value, capitalism and the generic.

“Capitalism requires a pseudo-objective measure of value. It proposes not just theoretically but practically and in every area of life that different things are the same and can be exchanged. Value is sameness, homogeneity, a universal language. It is this that renders naïve or superfluous other attempts to construct universal languages.”

Valuation - Runway

Make or Break, an ongoing collaboration between Sydney artists Connie Anthes and Rebecca Gallo, has engaged an approved valuer under the Australian Cultural Gifts Program to undertake a formal valuation of Make or Break Studio (2015-). Make or Break Studio is a live art project that explores the role and visibility of artist labour, audiences and collectors in the ...

Experiment One:

In this experiment, I have continued work from assessment one and my Tyvek composed poster. In the pictures above you can see the result of melting my poster. This experiment is a continuation of one of the key elements of my poster, which was that it can be destroyed by its audience. Unfortunately, due to fire alarms and audience hesitation, the poster was never destroyed, so in the experiment, I have finalised the destruction and a change in form.

Just a reminder to keep the criteria in mind while working on your Assessment 2 projects. 

Here is the process I went over in class - as I mentioned this isn’t linear or singular but a suggestion for how you could think about structuring your practice-led research:

Reflect on your poster and think about whether there are any themes, ideas, processes, materials you want to keep exploring. You need to keep the same topic but you can progress in whatever direction you like from Assessment 1. 

Devise some experiments/tests and then iterate one you find interesting

Iteration means repetition with variation - the variation could be adjusting a small parameter or something larger like translating to a different material or changing scale, colour etc - repeat, repeat, repeat!

Critically reflect on your experiments to work out what you want to develop and why

Alongside this do contextual research to develop your project. Research the work of other creative practitioners working with similar ideas/processes/materials. Look into theory around your topic

Once you have a series of iterations documented to Tumblr, think about refining one or some of those into the final work(s)

Together the iterations and final work(s) are your Body of Work. You need to reflect on your project in relation to your research in your Concept Statement

Last year’s Tumblrs

Hello team 

Here are a couple of Tumblrs from last year. This should give you some idea about what the mix of posts should look like for your submissions. You can also read the concept statements and see how the bibliography operates in this context.

Here is a link to the article about Richard Prince’s accidental appropriation of Sean Fader’s work:

“There’s obviously that part of me that’s mad because I’m a poor starving artist with six-figure student loan debt, and you’re just a giant that runs through Instagram pillaging, taking things into your own museum, and calling them yours,” Fader told Hyperallergic over the phone. “If I sued him it would make the work look better. If I sued him it would make him look like he’s thinking about rights in digital spaces, and that the work is questioning authorship in contemporary society. But that’s definitely not what he’s doing, I don’t even think he’s thinking about much, he’s just thinking, oh, this would be cool.”

“Hollywood Burn is an anti-copyright epic constructed entirely from hundreds of samples pirated from the Hollywood archive. It pits a righteous league of video pirates against the evil tyrant Moses and his Copyright Commandments. Determined to alter the present by changing the past, the pirates travel back to 1955 to construct the ultimate weapon: an Elvis Presley video-clone.

Part sci-fi + rom com + biblical epic + action movie, this remix manifesto adopts the tactical responses of the parasite, feeding off the body of Hollywood and inhabiting its cinematic codes. The unwitting all-star cast includes Elvis Presley, Charlton Heston, Jack Sparrow, Monkey Magic, Bette Davis, Batman, Jaws, Jesus, the Hulk, the Hoff and the Ghostbusters.”
