Talk by Jordan Baseman

Attended a talk by well known artist Jordan Baseman, an artist who mainly works with video (Baseman use to work with sculpture but he felt it wasn't right so changed media). He creates portraits using video, interviewing the subject over a couple of days sometimes not knowing what the person is going to talk about. The two videos he showed to us were A Nasty Piece of Stuff and The Dandy Doctrine (A Delightful Illusion), two very different pieces of work showing very different stories. He collects data about a person and produces an informed portrait, while I collect data about myself and produce 'self portraits' using graphs and visual representation of information.

After this talk I had a tutorial session with Baseman, discussing my current work, which direction he thought I should head in and what I was planning for my Degree show. Overall he seemed very excited about my work and wanted to see where it would lead me in the future.

Publication

As part of my elective we completed an online publication that accompanied the exhibition, A Storm is Blowing from Paradise.The publication highlights some of the work completed during the elective network, a introduction and forward by some of the lectures from the fine art department and words to describe how we felt about it.

Open publication - Free publishing - More 3-d

But a Storm is Blowing From Paradise

Some of the work in the gallery space in Greestone, some exciting new work from the other elective networks; Mapping, Cinematic, Painting, Drawing and Entropy.

Student as Producer

It is Student as Producer at the University of Lincoln, as part of my elective network (In More Than Space) we are producing an online publication and a projection piece. The publication will contain various images participants have taken over the last few weeks of experimentation. The projection will be in 2.3 in Greestone and will have a wider range of images than the publication.

Interactive...

After the Mini Exhibition I have decided to experiment with doing an interactive piece, as unexpectedly the audience viewing the work decided to take out the objects from inside the individual containers and play with them, rearranging them and even creating forts with the Lego and green soldiers. Hopefully I will be able to create a piece using similar items that I have already used that the participant will be able to manipulate and add little bit about themselves to work.
