looking back over the past week

Listened to the second of the Reith lectures written and delivered by Grayson Perry.  This week he discussed the idea that 'anything can be art'.  Looking at various examples - from Duchamp's urinal to Leeds students' hoax art project for their final show - they displayed air tickets, postcards and souvenirs suggesting they had spent the £1K grant for the exhibition on a holiday (they hadn't).  He touched on the craft v. art debate, snobbery, context (gallery display - Duchamp used a plinth for his urinal), photography, limited editions, performance, made by an 'artist) and so on.  Thought provoking and entertaining.

I spent a lot of time working on the Learning Agreement and a PowerPoint presentation which explains the development of the project.  I thought I had sorted it out.

On Thursday I presented the PowerPoint but it was met with negativity.  I need to rethink the whole project but I have other commitments and time is short.  

I attended the History Rising Study Day at Norwich Castle and the Outpost Gallery which was about curation.  Interesting.

I attended the Print and Dye induction - which I have done twice before - but it is useful revision.
