AGNSW Class task

4D AGNSW Visit

At 10.00 am we are heading down to level 2 to the PlayBack exhibition. If your are late please join us down at this level, where the curator will be giving us a talk.

There are two areas of interest we are focusing during this visit.

Firstly, we are interested in how artists use documentation within their work and secondly how Media based Live Art is presented in works on display.

Working in your groups collaborate to do following tasks together:

Working only in Level 2.

Walk around and identify how Media is playing a role within different works.

Discuss three different examples as a group and post them onto your Tumblrs.

Then…

Using a phone/camera collectively create a photographic montage or series of at least 6 images documenting works on level two in an alternative way, you can use any works from different exhibitions to create your series.

The Images must be creatively curated together to form a cohesive collection or series.

You might want to concentrate on a chosen theme such as textures or light or movement for example.

Then….

Using the Spacemakers and Roomshakers exhibition as your backdrop make an artwork using sound, still photography or video that creatively captures movement through the a space.

Then…(If time)

Can you identify any live elements within any works? Discuss how these live elements could be incorporated into your Live project - workshop some ideas with your group.

At 12pm meet in the front foyer and we will walk down to Firstdraft gallery together.

It is really important that you are on time because I have organised the curator of the Dobell Drawing exhibition to chat to us at 10am. This is an unique opportunity to chat to a REALLY important curator! Here is a map: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/0f5DCmOxDQtZ1ERBuGHXAz?domain=goo.gl This is an important part of the course so you need to attend! There will be plenty of time to travel from the gallery back to SCA for the 2.00pm workshops (one is on sound and the other is using the lighting studio both of which are important). Remember these workshops are COMPULSORY and you need to attend!!!! If you see your fellow class mates around can you remind them of the gallery visit. Thank you and see you 9.45am this Thursday out the front of AGNSW! Vicky

Step inside the creative mind

Tonight only!!!!!

This year, in partnership with FBi Radio, DLUX MediaArts is launching a new program of discourse on art practices that operate at the intersections of science and technology.

The Constellations will begin to map the field of experimental, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and new media arts enquiry in Sydney and beyond, and provide a platform for discussing the issues that are driving artists and their collaborators in the research and development of new work.

We look into artworks that take on non-human intelligences, robotics, screen culture, virtual reality, new digital platforms, health and medicine, data, community and storytelling, as well as speculations on the future possibilities of art.

The Constellations will be available to audiences as both a series of live events held at 107 Projects, Redfern and as podcasts.

The Constellations focuses on collaborative practice, reciprocity and what motivates creative people across disciplines to work with each other towards shared goals.

Join us for the conversation and contribute to the next phase in the life of DLUX Media Arts.

This week: The Atmosphere with artists David Haines and Joyce Hinterding & collaborators on 'Soundship Descender'.

This is "adad assessment 2 final part 1" by julienne Han on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

This was made by another student of mine, it reminded me of some of the videos from class 1 enjoy!

Two things to remember for next week:

1. Workshops are compulsory and you MUST attend

2. We are meeting outside Art Gallery of NSW at 9.45am!

Week five

4D Week 5:

Class structure:

1. In your groups review and share your documentation

What do find interesting?

Discuss how the footage could be further developed.

2. Spend some time working with your footage. Experiment with editing, projecting, listening etc?

post these experiments onto your Tumblr.

3. Formulate a plan of action. Decide what you want to use and how you would like to present your work. If you are making a video work try and think of an engaging way to present it to the class next week.

4. Is there any special equipment you need? You need to let me know if you need projectors, sound equipment etc, so I can book it for next week. Do you need an installation room to present in? Chat with Glenn and Issi about booking a room.

5. If you need help with sound and video editing Glenn is around.

Case Study:

Tina Havelock Stevens

Is a interdisciplinary video, sound and performance artist. Her performances often involve Live drumming in unusual sites. The video footage of her drumming becomes works in themselves. She recently won the Blake prize with her video performance work Giant Rock 2017. (Below)

She has an on going project called the White Drummer project https://whitedrummer.wordpress.com/ . Where her drumming performances are like self portraits with different landscapes

https://vimeo.com/192395386

Artist's statement: White Drummer Ghost Class (pictured above) is a self portrait I made in the Mojave Desert, California. This performance is not framed by its location, but inhabits it visually and sonically tuning into the frequencies of site and place, the inexplicable and the other. In ‘Ghost Class’ I am drawn to this site for its fragility and decay. I play a spontaneous composition throughout the transitional zone of twilight, buffeted by the wind, and record an autobiographical exorcism. This reflects on personal family mythologies of flight, particularly in relation to my father, a pilot in the Malayan Auxiliary Air force in the 1950s. As I play, I simultaneously embrace and let go of the trauma and triumphs that shape our sense of the world as we hurtle through time.

In 2013 Tina submerged herself while drumming in the Derwent river for the MOMA FOMA festival.
