Research Post Crit

Tide Press

Back bends, arms tighten

A work–in–progress single sheet, broadsheet newsprint publication with a written piece based on the experience of making photographs.  

> Really liked the concept of this piece, felt it was similar to my own. Text was describing the processes the body undertook to take photographs.

> Simple in execution with well taken photographs, really feel like you're getting an insight into the mind and works of the writer. 

- Maybe one of the publications could read the experiences people had when engaging with the exhibition. Thoughts about their body, what it was doing etc.
- This combined with prompts? Writing could be based off of the prompt - gain content from friends?

Room One

A photograph is a selective slice of the world that provides a fixed perspective of its subject matter. This project denies the authority of a unilateral viewpoint. It constitutes a visual interrogation of everyday objects, an investigation through space and time. Every picture is both a re–visioning of its content and a contributor to its cumulative representation. Like Cubism, it attempts to narrow the gap between the three–dimensional and the two–dimensional, the sculptural and the pictorial. 

> This publication toys with the viewer's perspective, and highlights how everyone is different. 

> 'This project denies the authority of a unilateral viewpoint.' and 'It constitutes a visual interrogation of everyday objects, an investigation through space and time.' are both really interesting statements, potentially ones I could bring into my own project.
- What is it the body is doing when interacting with art? Why so?
- How we interact and experience art is individual to us (sort of connects to statement on other publication about people describing how their body feels). Really interesting to explore with exhibition. 

Tom Lovelace

Lovelace’s practice explores materials, processes and histories that lie within the landscape of the everyday and his activities are underpinned by interventions and interruptions of the unexceptional.

Course: The Possibilities of the Photographic Body

This workshop series examines contemporary approaches to the compelling and ever-present subject of the human body and how it is represented in photography. Using the body as a starting point, participants will explore contemporary photographic practice through a range of themed sessions including the digital body, performance, architecture and gendered forms.

Asks questions for each session:What is the role of the body in photography today? What effect does the human form have on the world around us? Where does the body sit within the digital imaginary? etc. 

>  The concept is all based around the body and it's involvement within photography, really interesting to see people being involved in the same area of work as I'm looking into. 

Black Marble London

> Interesting works exploring places that have emotional connection.
> Particularly love the image that incorporates a human figure into the photograph.
- Could work such as this be exhibited in the gallery?







> A lot of works involve the human form in one way or another.
- To bring attention to the body does the whole body have the be included? I feel like Lovelace's work proves it doesn't. Having small fragments of a person in the picture and resonate with the audience.
