Hi carolina
I have a question. I thinking about dividing my book into two parts. One part would be from "Nanna, the artist" only containing stuff about the exhibition ( like, it was a real exhibition ) nice paper, tight grid and so on, and if you flip the book, the second part of the book would be from " Nanna, the frustrated ACCD student" going through my actual process from week to week (including my thought process), this part of the book would be on would shitty paper, untight grid. The reason for doing so, is that i see my process in this class as dual. The first couple of weeks, i had no idea what i was doing, till I started to get a hang of it (sort of) and created an actual narrative for my exhibition. I want my book to reflect my overall process in this class, but i'm not sure, if it's okay to have a "personal voice" in the book?
Thank you / Nanna
ohhhh also, I thinking about calling my exhibition "Nexus", yes/no?
Hi Nanna, the purpose of the book and the project is to consider it as a real exhibition, not a student project. Your voice is your piece. I am ok with having an autobiographical tone but i would not position the personal voice as a 'frustrated one'. Think beyond that, otherwise you are saying that your thinking process is 'shitty.'and that only makes you believe and perpetuate that as such. Don't get stuck in the self-bashing.
ReplyDeletei think Nexus is better, bring some other options to class as well.
thank you

Hi,
ReplyDeleteCarolina I talked with Nanna yesterday, I was wondering Nanna if you are still planning on flipping the book on itself. Creating 2 entry points and the middle serving as a some sort of clarity or resolution found in the final form of the project. I thought that was interesting way to present the book. Was this your plan? please provide clarification.
Yes, christina that was exactly my point.
