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.
