The Andrea Rosen Gallery

Finaly I'm here, and heres a test run for me.
Here is a very nice little site about Julia Scher
http://www.andrearosengallery.com/artists/julia-scher/
there is also her full bio log as well in pdf form

Artists

The black & white one is Bruce Nauman, Video Corridor, 1968. The colour one is Dieter Froese, Not A Model for Big Brother's Spy Cycle, 1987.

Essay stuff

The book that has info about some other artists exploring surveillance is New Media in Late 20th-Century Art by M. Rush. I used it a couple of years ago and it was good. I'm sure we nearly got it on Tuesday. I'm going to uni on Sunday so I might try and get it then. I hope no one else has got it by then. Two artists that were in it were Bruce Nauman and Dieter Froese. I would be good to compare their approaches to Julia Scher. We're meeting again 29/4, 6:30pm in Deakin library.

Projection

Hi,
Semira and I had some trouble finding a projection today. But we managed to intrude on someone else's project (joking, they were fine with it) and get a vague idea what it will look like. The white garbage bag looked cool. The project is pretty much ready, we didn't change it that much from Tuesday night. We just put some colour into it and worked out some of the video times. We talked to Ernesto as well and he gave us some good suggestions. I'm going to put a few images up of what we were doing. I recreated the patch on my laptop at home so the colours aren't exactly the same. We actually have a kind of blue colour coming in with the second dancer. For some reason my pictures are really yellow but you get the idea. I'm also adding the "bloody" Semira one because I think it looks cool.

Meeting

Hey,
We are meeting tomorrow at 5 at Giustina's house. Hope that's cool with everyone. I managed to get the Isadora demo to finally work on my brother's laptop and I bought a web cam today so that we can play with live feed.

Some stuff

I made a fake white room with a box and white paper and made it progressively dirty. Here's kind of what it looked like. I took a lot more photos, I was thinking of making it an animation. I chucked some rubbish in because it was a bit boring. Is that what we were maybe thinking with the dance?

Good news

I got an email from Ernesto saying we don't have to do our presentation until next Friday. YAY! So that gives us more time to fiddle with Isadora as a group. Like I said I had a go last Friday after class, it seems like it might be fairly simple once you get used to it.

Here's some of the info from our Powerpoint presentation about our project. I'm putting this up so everyone is updated with the idea.

Intro:
1. Creating art through random mark making.
2.Within a controlled and uncontrolled environment.
3.Reflecting human nature.
4.Breaking the “do not touch” boundary, unpredictable movement
5.Interactive
6.Exploring post modern ideas
7.Eros and Thanatos, desire to both create and destroy
8. Ecological

Project:
1.Create a white sterile environment. Our dancer will be covered in paint, dancing her routine and staining the pure environment. We will film this.
2.We will also film paper that we place randomly in different locations (eg. The street, walk way and studio).
2.We will create a similar environment when presenting our project and the class will interact with the work. We will project pre taped footage onto it. Maybe use live feed in our piece.

Materials:
Rag paper, butchers paper
Calico
Paint
Digital camera and digital video
Isadora
Animation, stop motion
Dirt

i'm in!

what up biach

Hi guys!

Hey,
I made this blog so we can post ideas, updates and even images. It will be way easier than trying to organize meetings over the phone or by email and you can check it whenever you want to find out what's going on. I just hope you're able to access it.
