- Written a three-page documentation for the project proposal, why am i doing it? what am i investigating? why Marina has done it? What makes mine different from hers in the 1970's?, rationale.
- Objects - Looking to use unusual objects which people don't know what they are or how to use them. Could i loan objects from the Lincoln museum?
- Rang the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. Have reserved 'Technology and Home' handling collection from the 12th March 2011 - 19th March 2011. £3.50 to book for a week.
- Let the museum know how many people will have used the objects, shown through sign in book; name, time, contact details, date etc.
- Technical equipment - Jamie has referred me to go and meet with Dave Overtan at Thomas Parker House. He could supply me with 2 cameras which can be on charge for the duration of the performance.
- Bought a brief case which might be suitable to present all documentation in. It could represent an individuals personal paper work/files. Private - need a secret code to open. This relates to my body being personal and private to me, and the public acting curious to this.
- Venue - Have asked my contact at the Usher Gallery if it would be possible to do my performance at the gallery/collection on 12th March, from 10 - 2 p.m.. This could be possible, will verify on wednesday 3rd Feb. Take photographs of the potential venue, work out where things are going.
- Advertising - Once objects, equipment and venue are finalized, can start planning advertising. Possible methods include; social networking, shops and cafe windows using flyers/posters, 'Lincolnshire Echo' newspaper?. Aim is to make this a big press event!. Therefore ring up the newspaper and find out how they can get involved. The Usher Gallery will be able to advertise on their website.
- 'Confess all to video' - There will be a separate area which will have a chair, camera and a display of masks, This is where members of the public can share their thoughts and opinions openly, and if they don't want their identity shown, they can wear one of the masks provided. I need to design the masks and decide why they are appropriate.
This blog has been created as a diary for me to record each stage of the process i am going through for my negotiated project, on my illustration course at university. I will be doing a performance piece called 'the fourth wall'. I will be paying homage to the well-known performance artist, Marina Abramovic. I am investigating the boundaries between the artist and the audience. The not knowing what direction the ordeal might take, is what the performance is about.
