Exhibition Pieces

This post will fracture the pieces that I want to showcase in the exhibition and in what format, size.

I know in total I want thee pieces to represent different topics that I made a response to. I want these to have an impact I would want them to be A2 because my piece are not grand enough to be A1 or A0 but I want them to have a poster like feel to each piece. The following order of the images are how I would like them to be presented. In a Tryptic.

For paper finishes and weight, I would go for a Semi-gloss finish because of how it would go along with the textures and overlay in my images due to the shine that the finish provides. For weight, I would go with the standard 215 gsm. As it’s known to be poster paperweight and I want the pieces to be really lightweight or super heavy.

Broken Faces:

I want to feature this piece in the exhibition because I think this piece was a shift in how I presented my work in this project.

Even though this piece was hard to communicate the meaning behind it. I would have one of those cards to the left of the piece. Explaining that tho piece is alluding to plastic surgery and how it has become the norm to get something done.

A Glitch In The System

This piece would be my second feature in the exhibition but due to my circumstances, it’s not. I was planning to turn this piece in a similar style to the two other pieces so that it would be coherent.

Instead of being a static image like the other two, it would still be a GIF. So I present it in the middle of the two images by projection.

I situated it in the middle because even though my idea for the project had evolved. This piece still has elements that I quite like.

45 minutes

To be honest, this piece is my standout of the entire project. I was getting into a good rhythm of picking topics that I can address. I picked a topic that is personal to me that I could pick a lot of emotion into

The description card would be on the right side of the image it would explain how this is a response to the incident that happened when an undergraduate student for their final show decided to us to use blackface as an accessory for the show.

Magazine Draft #1

Front cover: Broken Faces
For this piece the initial idea was that I wanted to make a comment on plastic surgery and how its become so common that people have it. Also wanted to say how there’s this obsession with plastic surgery to always go bigger. I showcased that by selecting certain places on her face and enlarging them and adding a difference colour to make that difference clear.

45 Minutes

The topic of this piece is very personal to me and that why I chose to make a piece on it. The topic of racism & cultural appropriation make feel two main feelings which are confusion and anger. So the theme of this piece is the latter emotion. The reason for this topic to be so confusing to me is because of how theres different opinions what cultural appropriation actual is and what people can “take”. Obviously it has become more deluded because of celebrities overtime are making a norm to use influences from other cultures but claim they did it first.

The piece is a reference to when a undergraduate for her final show decided to make the models wear an over exaggerated version of blackface and one of the black models refused to wear the pieces and recalled one of the members of staff telling her “It was fine to fell uncomfortable for 45 minutes. So decided to make the models the main vocal point and have the text surrounding them. I wanted to be clear you get what I’m staying instantly with this piece.

Cam Girl

For this project, most of my pieces have no connection with my essay and I wanted to somehow bring my essay topic back into my physical work.

How I came across this topic was that Becky put a link to this website that shows a range of videos in different genres. I went on and searched, social media and the internet and came across this series called Dark Web that looked at different aspects of the internet in a more gritty, realistic way. One of the videos in that series was a bout cam girls and the unknown fear of not knowing who’s watching them. I used a layout, that replicates a pop ads and I replaced them with images from the series.

Disconnect

Following the themes of Cam Girl, this piece is a commentary on how people are so connected but most people look at it, that people today are more distant than ever. With the globe icon it’s the most recognisable image that link with connection or old school internet logo.
