E-Journal #6: Artist Statement - First Final Draft

Please post your revised artist statements in the comment section below.  You must also email a copy to me at droe@rollins.edu before the start of class on Tuesday, February 15th.

On the Topic of Artist Statements...

 ...below is a link to an article from the blog Conscientious that I think you may all find helpful.  Although it speaks about photography, the advice is applicable for any medium.

In the post, Colberg writes "Part of the reason why you want to write a statement is not because you have to, but because you want to own and have an understanding of your work. You want to know how to approach it, and you want to be certain that it’s done, that there’s nothing you need to add to it.

It’s very important to understand that this has nothing to do with an academic approach to art (another one of those oh-so convenient excuses not to write one). It is true that an academic approach to art employs writing, but that doesn’t mean that every piece of writing about art is academic.

Regarding Walter Benjamin....

...and our discussion today.  Two things I just came across that I think you all might be interested in.

1.  Christian Marclay's "The Clock", a 24-hour video piece currently on view at Paula Cooper in New York where he mixes thousands of snippets from films depicting the passage of time -- every minute of the day.  Click HERE to read a brief Jerry Saltz interview.

2.  Google's launch of "Art Project" - this brings the artwork to YOU in a truly digital manner.  Click HERE to read about it on Hyperallergic, and click HERE to visit the site.

E-Journal #5 - EXHIBITION TITLE AND POSTCARD

Your 100-200 response to this post should include 1) an indication of whether or not you think an exhibition title is appropriate and why (other than, Senior Exhibition 2011) and, if you are inclined toward using a title, provide a list of some possible title options, 2) a list of possible types of imagery to use on the postcard and/or design ideas and an indication of why you feel these designs or images would be appropriate.

As you know, you can each create a new post by logging in and hitting "New Post".  If you would like to upload imagery or mock-ups of designs, you may do so in that manner (it is not possible to post an image to a comment thread, but you CAN post a link if you like - for instance, a link back to a post you've made on this blog).

I encourage you to use this blog as a venue for commenting back and forth on design mock-ups either through commenting or by creating new posts.  Remember, although Jen is the head of the Design Committee, it is everyone's responsibility to contribute to the creation of the postcard/poster/flyer.
