Process driven artwork::: passage of
life (after salvation)
artist looked at :
Richard long
Cai Guo-Qiang (head on)
bill Viola ? Video work of walking
through a forest with suit cases
liz woods national parks QLD
shawn gladwell skade board
rosemary lane
Artistic concept:
the passage of life.
Process concept :
the walk, the meditative process in
the action of the walk
the process of making the work will be
fluid, for all my planning the natural landscape will heavily
influence and change the artwork as I am making it.
my plan or path … and the one that is
out of my control ( the natural landscape that influences the path).
Linear path, singular destination..
varied landscape.
The record of the artwork will be the
final work.. such as richard longs works.. the physical artwork will
also be accessible. :
photographs
film
interactive media (zoom function in
html)
process stages
development of concept
intervention with the environment/
initial walk
creation of the walk
recording of the artwork ( the final
artwork ? )
Post modern and contemporary discouse
that we are inherently good. My assumption will begin with the
foundation that we are sinful by nature, so reflecting this each time
a participant walks along the track they are adding additionally
reflecting our destructive nature
The walking track
The use of geometric/straight or curved
line is a very “humanist thing to do... god/nature does not create
straight lines (rarely)
So walking under our own strength/human
perspectove creates a straight line... the simples and fastest way to
get where we are going... with the curved line or miandering
line/mediative line curves, winds and twists. Connecting us to the
environment we are in..
The mind tends to wander when walking
in straight or gently curved lines.
LAND ART
Land art is art that is made directly
in the landscape, sculpting the land itself into earthworks or making
structures in the landscape using natural materials such as rocks or
twigs.
Land art is often a very intrusive and
destructive action (with the exception of land artists such as
goldsworthy). In this installation I intend on using this aspect of
land art to further support my concept. In that going through out
life, we leave an impact. Life is not a passive or neutral act.
richard long .. english in his practice
.. culturally go for long walks
land artists heighten public awareness
of peoples relationship with the natural world
how the works sit within the landscape
how did galleries respond to land art
sculptures are not place in the
landscape, rather, the landscape is the means of their creation.
Working with the earth to create the
work.. scaring the earth or not ? Land art is sometimes seen with a
negative light ends of the earth : land art exhibition
Installation artist (Cai Guo-Qiang)
Exhibition seen that relates to the sculpture project
The animals around the lake/pond.
How it relates ? When stepped on the
sand surrounding it we bacame consious of our impact on that
environment... the security guards simply raked away the footprints
and said “that is the point”
