FINAL ASSIGNMENT:
A portfolio of 7-10 perfectly printed and presented images. These must all be focused on one idea (up to you). Scale, materials, and presentation method are your choice, but must be expertly done and in keeping with the concept of the project.  Two of the prints can be reworked previous prints.  You can include an artist statement, but it is not required for this assignment.


DUE: 5/2

ARTIST STATEMENTS

Artists Statements:

Points to consider writing about:

The subject matter in your photograph.

The concepts in the work.

The techniques of making the work.

References to artists/books/or any inspiration for the work.

It is generally a good idea to have some physical description of the work: The work consists of photographs, all the pictures are blue because…etc.

It is also important to explain how the medium or techniques in the work correlate to the concepts in the work.

Another important question to consider is: Why are you making this work? What is important about it for you, or for you to share with others?

Consider what you want to reveal to your viewer, and what you want to hide. How much information is too much?

REMEMBER: For Personal Project 3 your statement will hang next to your work, it can be between 5-250 words. The statement should be specifically about the work you did for this project, not about yourself as an artist - that could be another statement for a website, or something else. 

Here are some links for inspiration, but make sure you keep your statements as true to yourself & your work as possible! 

LINKS: 

Henry Horenstein:

http://www.horenstein.com/#mi=1&pt=0&pi=2&p=-1&a=0&at=0

Good example of a clear, honest artist statement. This statement is focused on the photographer as an artist, not a specific project.

Freja Mitchell

http://frejamitchell.c­om

Look under different sections in “Portfolio”. Good example of clearly explaining process of image making, and descriptions of physical work.

Kathleen Hawkes

http://kathleenhawkes.com/bio/statement

Good example of the difference between an artist statement and reviews written about one’s work from another person.

Look under “Portfolio”

Patrick Craig Manning

http://pcm.pcmxa.com/

Click on the right, most work has a statement before you view the images.

Meggan Gould

http://www.meggangould.net/statement.htm

Good overview statement of all work.

ARTISTS #8

Here are your Artists #8. I will consider this extra credit - if you review one of these artists it might help make up some points for not responding to classmate reviews, missing a review, etc.

Enjoy:

GRADUATE STUDIO REVIEWS!

I forgot to announce that the Graduate Studio reviews are THIS THURSDAY - before our class on Thursday (Friday, the 4th).

I have not yet seen the schedule, but they normally start at 9am and end about 3pm.

The Graduate Studio Reviews are the 1st year graduate students, working in all different disciplines (photo, sculpture, painting, etc), presenting a body of work to 4 Art & Art History professors. These reviews are open to the public, and anyone can come in the studio buildings, stay and listen to an entire review - or bounce around and look at different art works & listen to different reviews.

The reviews are 1 hour conversations between the artist and the 4 member panel. At the end, the conversation opens up to the public and you can add your comments/questions if you're so inclined.

This is a REALLY valuable experience to witness, particularly if you are interested in continuing your art education.

These reviews are held on UNM Campus, in the Annex and Mattox graduate studio buildings. I'm attaching a map, and have circled where these buildings are!

GO!! If you write a 1 page response about one of the reviews, I'll give you a nice chunk of extra credit in the class.

I'll forward you the schedule as soon as I get one.

Thesis Show Openings THIS FRIDAY (the 5th)

Two Photo Graduate Students, Rachel Cox & Jamie Kovach, are both having their thesis show openings this coming Friday, April 5th.

GROUPS

At the end of class we pulled names out of a hat to divide the class into two groups for our future class critiques - you'll be in this group until the end of the semester. It was a class decision that all students not present, automatically went into the group presenting on Tues (sorry).

Each group will need to come up with a name. Each name needs to start with your group letter - The Alphabets, Astroids, Apples
Or
The Bats, Bubble Monsters, etc. Up to you to decide. :)


GROUP A will present Personal Project 1 on 3/5 and GROUP B on 3/7. For the next critiques the groups will flip-flop.

Public Talk: Geoffrey Batchen

February 12 5:30 pm

University of New Mexico/Room 102 in the new SMLC-Science & Math Learning Center building, just west of the Clark Hall Chemistry Dept.


Geoffrey Batchen, Beaumont Newhall Visiting Professor of Photography

‘Repetition and Difference: The Dissemination of Photography,’
Sponsored by the UNM Department of Art and Art History with in-kind support from the University of New Mexico Art Museum.


Geoffrey Batchen’s work as a teacher, writer and curator focuses on the history of photography with a particular interest in the way that photography mediates aspects of modern life. This makes photography an especially challenging phenomenon to study and much of his work addresses the methodological task that this study poses for art history. In addition to his expertise in the general theory and historiography of photography, Batchen helped pioneer the study of vernacular photography.


Some of his important publications include: Burning with Desire: The Conception of Photography (1997), Each Wild Idea: Writing, Photography, History (2001), Forget Me Not: Photography and Remembrance (2004), William Henry Fox Talbot (2008), and Suspending Time: Life, Photography, Death (2010) and he co-edited Picturing Atrocity: Photography in Crisis (2012). He has also curated exhibitions for museums throughout Europe, North America, Japan, Brazil and Australia. Batchen has taught at the University of California, San Diego, the University of New Mexico, the Graduate Center in New York and currently he is Professor of Art History at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.

Talk is free and open to the public
