11th January meeting
We discussed my first draft of the lit review. We then went on to discuss areas that I need to now develop:
The Female Gaze – an area to explore in more depth
You also recommended that I return to WG Sebald since there is very little work on his use of photography and the positioning of the photos within his novels. You suggested Rings of Saturn.
Other writers/photographers to explore were:
William Boyd – Nat Tate
Johnnie Shand Kydd – Crash
Stephen Bull – Meeting Hazel Stokes
Andy Warhol – Photography
Alvar Gullichsen - Bonk Business Inc
I discussed some of the ideas I have been working on to develop the practice piece. I want to create a fictional female YBA who is Welsh and present a retrospective exhibition and book of her life’s work. We discussed the possibility of contacting real artists and art critics to respond to her work in some way with them being aware that the project is not a hoax but a celebration of the British conceptual art movement of the last twenty years. The practical would be made up of narratives reflecting on the work of the artist by ‘friends’. This could be a combination of digital stories, a series of photographs and an accompanying book.
You suggested the following things to work on:
Polish my Lit review and develop it in light of our discussion during the meeting:
• Write a one page proposal for the practice. Key things to consider would be to clarify the central idea
• Consider possible artists and art critics to contribute to the practical piece
