'Cultural products are the all time favourite playthings of the powerful, Though the degree of meddling varies, our culture was built on compromises between notions of public good and the personal political and financial ambitions of the rich.
what research I've enjoyed this year
- the most interesting book I've read has definitely been 'inside the white cube' I found its views on the modern gallery space extremely interesting
- Damien Hirst and Charles Saachi was my favourite artist to look into and the part of my essay that I think was the most successful
what research I've found hard
- the hardest thing by far about the COP quote I chose was trying to create art about the fact that art was controlled by the rich - trying to create art that was anti art.
- I think it would be much better me looking into 'what gives art value?' instead of 'rich and powerful control art' and it would be in a sense a much wider topic to look into with lots of research possibilities
what could I look into for COP 2?
- what gives art value? - look into skill talent aesthetics and artistic trends
- what creates artistic trends? - look into social movements power structures
- the history of the gallery - how did the gallery start, how has it changed, does it exist in other cultures and how is it relevant today
- art collection and curation - how did it arise, how does it effect artists today, the positives and negatives of curation
- is art accessible to every class? - different types of art, folk art, tribal art, community art, social art, art therapy
planning the ISSU presentation
10 slide ISSUU presentation
identify a research question/focus - what gives art value
- 250 word proposal for CoP 2 - skill and talent, artistic trends, tate gallery, curation and collection, why does value change? is value inherent? art critics, who decides what art is worth?
- 5 relevant/related subjects - curation, YBA, forgeries, Tate, 'high art' and 'low art'
- 5 relevant images - Van Gogh Sunflowers, Piero Manzoni Artist's Shit, Damien Hirst shark, Venus fake (or some other fake)
to research as I go: - 5 relevant quotes
- 5 relevant books
- 5 relevant websites
