Yes, so I haven't posted too recently as I haven't been doing much other than scrambling for my final product (problems, problems, problems..)! Consequently, this will be a short blurb too.
So what have I been presenting to..well..almost everyone I meet?
The issue here is the time factor. Initially, I wanted to create a program and host it at MoCA that reached to the youth about contemporary art and the museum. Unfortunately, I found out two weeks ago that this would not work, as all the events that take place at the MoCA have been in development for a while, since MoCA operates on a curatorial model (which basically means my plan is premature and has not had the time and work put into it for it to be something of good quality!).
So like any normal student, I panicked a tad. Brainstorms over brainstorms, after several calls to a few good and amazing friends (Rapatan, Isom and Andrew--hurrah!), I settled on one idea. I still wanted something interactive, creative and visual..artsy. I am putting together a mini book/album of a collaboration of pieces that address the prompt above. And between these pages, I will have bits of my writing of my experiences and what I learned from them.
Hopefully, everything will eventually fall into place...soon. I'm finding it terribly difficult to gather enough participants, seeing as it is so close to exam season, and students everywhere are up to their necks with the work! However, as to those who have contributed or will soon be contributing their part, I am truly appreciative and cannot thank you enough! (You have no idea.)
Dankeschön,
Axk
P.S.: Can't believe it's nearing mid-April already.. This is crazy.
So what have I been presenting to..well..almost everyone I meet?
The prompt is:
Create an artistic piece (ex. poem, prose, sketch, drawing, etc.) that expresses what you believe is 'contemporary art' and a 'contemporary art museum'. This piece should be something that can fit or be fitted into a book/album, though it does not necessarily have to be 2-D (be as creative as you'd like).
Basically, I want to know what you think those two phrases are and what you associate with them. There are no criteria for the final piece. All these pieces will ultimately be compiled into a book/album.
