In-class Studio Activity: Object Empathy
In-class Studio Activity: Object Empathy
Your assignment is to feel empathy for a broken object, and fix the object. Make the act of fixing it your aesthetic. Your goal in repairing the object is not necessarily to make it usable, but to make the repair obvious. To repair the object you can use what you happen to have around: bandages, paper, tape, anything. The repair is your art intervention.
Repair the object, and take two photos:
a photo of the repaired object, that clearly shows the repair.
a selfie with the repaired object.
Put both photos in your IVA course folder (the folder with your name on it)
Studio Project: Domestic Intervention
Studio Project: Domestic Intervention
Your project is to pick a site and create an installation that shows that site in a new way. I suggest you begin with a site you know well, such as where you live, which is why the project is called Domestic Intervention. However, you can pick a different site if you want. Look to the artists in both of today's lectures for ideas. Write a statement describing how you intended your intervention to change the meaning of its space (minimum 100 words).
What is an intervention that you can make into a familiar space, that changes the meaning of that space or calls attention to the space in a new way?
Your goals for this project are to learn something about the space, and to help the viewer experience the space in a new way.
To turn in: Documentation will be important. Take a photo of the site BEFORE you make any changes. Take some photos of your process as you create the intervention. Then take several photos from different angles of the completed intervention. Make a slideshow with these photos in your IVA course folder. Include your written statement on one of the slides.
NOTE: In addition to photos, you may document your project with video. The guidelines for good photography also apply to video: pay attention to framing, focus and lighting/exposure.
Due: 9am, Wednesday July 29
