Artist Talk- Edwin Zwakman

Museum 1991-1993, reproduction not an artwork, exists as a photograph.

The empty spaces of the museum were the work, art not the concept.

these are models mostly, most of his ideas are from memory. Object changes,  interpretation changes through your brain. therefore some of these pictures in his mind come out different or weird

works with the empty spaces, the doors and windows replace the paintings. They can look like paintings. minimalist, outside works with the inside.

not illusions that is not intended here

functional modernist architecture

GROUP CRIT W/ Bernice

What does the clear bag do? 

It contains and also at the same time mixes the contents.

The thought of the seen and unseen in the bag is interesting, some objects in the bag are going to go unseen to the eye therefore is there a process to choosing and controlling what the viewer sees.

Is it a natural selection? Or a selection of whats worthy or not worthy for the plinth/ outside the studio?

it seperates from our practice.

Composition? How will they lay/ appear?

Same bag? This will link all bags together- is that what we want? 

It will maybe draw too much focus on the bags rather than the contents however will also give room to contrast and compare what is in them. 

Size? bigger/smaller

Different bags or containers?

Colour, material?

The bag kind of speaks or shows a piece that isn’t around or in view to the public. Things that break of are precious, interesting (a fragment) to us that we cant really through away.

I used fibre optic wires and cast them in a concrete mix, in these pictures there is a light behind this piece however it does also work with natural daytime light its just not a bright. The intention was to have many wires so that it appeared to be almost transparent, however with this first try I didn’t want to spend so much time on a long intensive process with it not to work. But it does and I would like to perfect this process.

Little prints of wood imprinted into concrete and plaster.

Really like the surface of this technique in Architecture that is quite popular on many buildings, like the Hayward Gallery on the Southbank. 

As this is on a small scale just done with one piece, the impact is little, with the right construction I could achieve a higher density on the material.

Proposal of the collective based show so far.

We find the idea of having these vacuum packed bags with contents that can be whatever we want to fill them with. It can be finished/ unfinished pieces, writted/ photographic research, materials, tools, etc. We can pick and choose what is being put in these bags. As there will be several things in there, some will be visible and others not, there will be a mix of between the group- of contents, sizes, curation.

LECTURE: Body/ Building

Emily Speed-

relation between the body and architecture.

Gordon Malta- Clarke, splitting, 1972

-intended as an act of violence, act against and architecture. Just by this slight but also quite a large part of this house being altered and slightly removed leaves the house vulnerable, it is relying on the last parts of the bottom left for stability. However..

A HOUSE is thought as solid, protective, strong and immovable. We feel safe, its a symbolic space and representational. This slice which has been taken alters the inside also  with the light which is shining through these gaps alters the space of the rooms. 

Architectural structures and boundries.

Do Ho Suh, Seoul Home, 1999.

-layers different homes, 

Maternal metaphor, trying idea of a subtle subject (home) to space.

Territory Groups

Looking at the similarities and differences between our chosen and suggested territory groups, we share a aesthetic value for raw materials, light and space.

Interests me how the two pieces of light overlap and interact with one another. To me the thought of where this light is coming from as a photo only, interests me.
