Pictures of the gap crit set up;
I believe that my gap crit went well, and got fantastic ideas about how to present and develop my work further. I jolted down a few notes during the chat amongst my peers;
- Positive about the film being projected onto an object
- All about the aesthetic and imagery
- Draws attention to certain aspects of the video
- Venice Biennale – Two story big monster piece – trolls (look into)
- Sculptural – artefact – examining the male gaze – not unpleasant, but not sexually charged – look over shoulder is different to what is usually portrayed in paintings of women
- Danger and desire – cherry red
- Disjointed sense – narrative wasn’t completely the same as the video – added depth since you look and hear what’s happening better
- Chair forces you to invest in watching the film
- Interested in the artefact itself – white projection instead? To show the object in-between video
- Object away from the wall – scale changes – shadow possibly and smaller projection
- Curtain – traditional paintings of nudes had curtains draping in the foreground something’s been revealed
- Paint whole wall red? Like the Arcade room that was pink
- Or multiple projections – some with just colour – Flashback could be in these
- Sue Webster and Tim – play with shadows?
- Bill Viola at the Royal Academy (look into)
- Razor Head by David lynch (look into)
- Jean Cocteau – (look into for cut flashbacks)
- Mirror – catching yourself looking at the object – you are the intruder
There’s a lot of information here I need to process through, included the artists mentioned. However, I have indeed been thinking about the layout more, and I’ve been drawing very quick sketches of what was discussed during the gap crit;
