assignments

first off, hassan cheated.

John:
what if all was well? what if you didnt have this overload of events in your life? what if skys were blue and everyone was well and you didnt have to carry the weight of others?
what would you make art about then?......now go do it. go make a piece about what you would make art about if you were not making art about clair/leukemia. and if clair was well, and you still wanted to make artwork about clair, then what would you talk about? currently, i only see her illness, which is such a small part of her amazing personality.
if this didnt happen, what would you be doing?

hassan:
i want to see you create a piece that is minimal. by this, i mean formally minimal. your work has many layers and its often very busy and colorful. what if you made a formally simple piece? subject matter can change or remain the same. doesnt matter. i just want to see what you can do if you could work with the basics.....

jen:
i want you to make a piece that is narritive, with voiceover. linear narrative. begining to end. plot/purpose. whatever. should you choose to do video, time is not an issue. long or as short as you want.




go forth bitches.

due date? 2 or 3 weeks-ish? informal crit at my place? or jens roof?

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to edit so I deleted it.

I need clarification on "formally minimal?" Do you mean like build on what I have historically done with 2d photo or something else entirely? I am not sure what you mean by the basics?
