WEEK # 9-10
For my proposal, I was thinking to use food as everyday objects around the house apart if my daily routine. Many things in the fridge have similarities. I also think the relation to using this food as an object has similarities as they are a part of healthy living.
Another idea I had was to make use of food that I grew up with and tell the stories and memories. I feel like revisiting the old meals I would make defiantly help bring back times that made me who I am today.
While researching online I came across Victor Nunes and his uses of real-like objects with art. I think this unique and how the object he is using works in this paper.
Hi Daniel,
Note: If you have a new piece to show – let me know – Friday morning is your last chance to add any late work.
Week 1:
Katchadourian notes pretty minimal, 3 Book stack images complete – though seem to be organized around a subject mainly – rather than a real conceptual/critical intervention or idea at play, I like the one with the white side of the pages against the one title – seems more intentional.
Week 2:
Notes on two text works extremely minimal, not much evidence of curiosity and full engagement with material
Week 3:
Text banner exercise and description – no evidence here of reading the required text, or following the main instruction in the assignment to use text found in the article. Close looking and note making of the works in lecture materials will also help deepen your knowledge and give you ideas for strategies for working, and making decisions about materials, words, form, and context.
Week 4:
Nature videos missing
Be sure to add more notes showing you really engaged and watched all the materials, and give descriptions of how the artworks inform your new piece.
You have a lot of ideas of your own that you want to express, but try to follow the logic of my assignments to expand ways of communicating and to explore new ideas, and the ideas of other artists.
Try to approach your works with more experimentation (not knowing what will happen) and adventurousness (creating tension, discomfort, and surprise.) But remember, you are part of a conversation with other artists working historically and today – so to participate you have to really listen to those ideas too.
Thank you for your attendance and we’d all like to hear more from you in class discussions and activities.
If you would like to talk with me about your work in progress, readings, exercises, one-on-one comments on your work, and grades – send me an email in the morning to book a 15 minute appointment during the optional in person hours: Thursdays 2:30 – 4:30
And you can show up to a zoom meeting with Nathan anytime during these hours to ask your questions, and get tech support for using software and finishing your projects:
Mondays and Thursdays 1-4pm
Hi Daniel,
I appreciate your thoughts and revelation on bread, and that you participated in the exercise and baked! Looked good too, and I hope it might be an enjoyable and nourishing new skill. Unfortunately there is a lot of work missing here – the Zoom proposal, the final Zoom video and description, detailed notes on Food Art, the food piece, and the final exercise, Pandemic cake. I understand things have been exceptionally difficult for you and for many during this time, but even with extensions and other support, your grade will reflect that there is not a lot of evidence you have been deeply engaged with the course materials and lectures, and were missing/silent most of the synchronous classes this term. And do remember not to double-enroll in two studio courses simultaneously – this makes it impossible to do well in either class, is disrespectful to your teachers who are trying to support you, and is a loss to the community of each class. I enjoyed working with you when you were able to attend, and I sincerely hope things will be easier in the coming months for you and indeed for all of us.
