Exhibition publications: Inspiration and decisions - and the group show

Examples of artist catalogues / exhibition zines. 

We collectively really liked the tracing paper, hand bound and ring bound ones.  

Kit wants to use ring bound ones to show more of her work - specific to her practice.

Kit and Elle want to do a paper catalague utilising print bureau - we've agreed on this and created a timeline.            

                   

 

 

 

 

 


Timeline/ objectives that  I've set up by my studio space to keep everything communicated.
title suggestion from Elle - Terminal Point - sligtly political - referencing the end of the opportunity to study a masters at Staffs. Do we all do a statement about why we chose to do a Masters and connect it to the arts scene in Staffs?

Considering ideas of how to package our works, make them connect and give the audience a way to engage in a space that has been used in a new way.


What am i showing?

Concerned about scale 
Mally suggested combining works to create larger peices and Becky has talked about scaling up - Ian suggests that smaller works particular afrtifacts can hold status.

The stereotypical housewife can be repeated to reflect mass distribution ( any variations - just scale?)

4 areas of focus
  • Venus
  • Text
  • Archival Ray 
  • Stereotypical repitition
Initial sketch up of front gallery proposal idea - option 1   




decisions about where to exhibit as a group have been made seamlessly - we can see where there are connections and have worked together to prep, support and plan. We've considered titles and planned when to make the catalogue after submission.


I related to all of these exhibition ideas : I like the angles, suspensions, layering, dark walls... but have had to work in a way that fits what I'm trying to say with my work.. but these have sat at the back of my mind and will be considered in future if the work lends itself to being shown this way.

Developing cyanotype

Image
Toning I like the toning because i prefer the depth of indigo ink instead of bright blue.  On the canvas it looks like a crafty aging process which isn't what I was aiming to achieve. Should I have left this canvas bare?   Sits really heavily on the canvas and smells of coffee despite lots of rinsing    Testing Repeated the cyanotype process after using acrylic paint - there are faint suggestions of a second print. This is what makes the outline of the figure and triangles where the chemicals where'nt painted over the whole paper. Gesso Gesso on top does leave a shadow Acrylic Acrylic is too thick despite being used with a medim Oil Oil with linseed is much better for transparency Polychronos Polychronos work well to pull out small details but take over when used to pull out more detail  Bleach Bleach removed some of the coffee staining and I used a brush to remove the staining under the tape marks.  Painted back into this to pull out details with oil paint...

Overlays on Pro-Create for Cyanotype acetates

Image
    Contrasted image v softer inverted   Added a daisy wheel   Changed the pattern on the dress to wine glasses and changed the meat grinder to a pot a spoon to reflect conversation about making dinner. Attempted print on wooden spoon and prepped canvas. IB:  What does the process do to the archival image: LL: changes the intention. IB: Where is the image from, who is it? LL: American model - who? Could you use social media image? is this more relevant? Could you do copies of photos / appropriation: I'm taking this for free andf critiquing it - changing it's purpose.  See: Richard Price, re gender, identity, re photography. The Marlborough Man is just an american landscape - what happened when he detatched it from the brand?
