18/09/2017 - Key points

Listening to MoMA Talks: Panel Discussions & Symposia podcast, World Art | Art World: Introduction and "The Global Rules of Art". David Little, Director, Adult and Academic Programs, The Museum of Modern Art provides an introduction to the Symposium. Larissa Buchholz, State University of New York at Stony Brook, presents "“The Global Rules of Art”. Recorded at MoMA, April 29, 2006.

Thoughts & Key Points: Exoticism of ethnicity, the increase of biennales and the origins of the artist involved. Western or Ethnic, these are the two ‘labels’, identity politics (a term I need to look in to further, very prevalent in UAE art scene, difficult to be included if not gulf native).

Introduction to MA1 Visual enquiry – AR

MA1 unit information 2017

Positive and critical way to discuss work.

Task 1 – Is to develop language

The key task is Task 5 which is practicalSome come and leave with a different practice, some keep the same practice but think differently.

PPP – Begin in year 1 – developed through to year 3

Contextual study – scholarly, 20% of marks, reflections in journal

MA journal – when you’re at university in physical space your lecturers can walk through your studio, watch your progress, and see what you’re doing. MA Journal is to allow that happen so we need to make sure this is where we upload everything: bullet points, scrap paper, notes, works in progress; it’s literally a virtual sketchbook.

Tutorials – AR, CW and visiting lecturer: this will be someone who aligns with you and your practice, they are picked very carefully

Critiques – don’t be too precious, we need to learn to talk to each other and be critical as well as supportive, and not to take offence. Understand it is to allow us to grow
