Week #3: Exercise Description
I decided to toss a pair of old shoes out the window, capturing the sequence of the shoe falling. Some of the other images I was thinking about capturing were papers with photos on it, a candle, and a deck of cards. There is something about the tied tennis shoes in the sky hung on a light post wire that stands out to me, but rather than re-creating that nostalgic moment, I opted to capture the motion of shoes falling.
Tyler:
W1:
Notes on Sol Lewitt, Yoko Ono, Nauman complete and evidence of curiosity and engagement with material.
Kilometre image and description – seems related to conceptual practice, I like how you measured the kilometre using track/running and something you already do – measure this distance with the body. I like how you tracked each 100 metres with documentation. And sorry about your ankle!
W2: Image of Abramovic/Stillness gesture, and description complete and a good idea, I appreciate you made yourself uncomfortable/challenged to create tension, and meaning in the work, and reflecting on all the discomfort, moments of failure, and struggle – but I need to see evidence too that you watched the film and really go into and understood the ideas in Abramovic’s works. Could use more references to show you watched and understood it.
W3: 6 conceptual sentences are complete and sometimes get the idea – to write the simple formula for actions in each piece, as opposed to broader themes. Defenestration image and description missing.
W4: Notes on Adad’s work missing, and Distancing video portrait missing.
