Bishops Art Prizes - Notes & Reflection




Notes and inspiration for bishops art prize 

  • Bishops Art prize into lecture
  • streams in the desert
  • UK fortunate to have water – clear, pure, safe – we don’t need to think about where it comes from and we know that the water is safe, this makes us take it for granted.
  • Its natural privilege having access to water that we should all have available to us
  • In USA Flint Michigan also sourced from Flint River resulted in Brown unsafe water (big scandal)
  • Water is often the reason there is lots of fighting over in the middle east this is somewhere where water sources are not taken for granted such as the River Jordan –
  • The river Jordan becomes only a trickle once it reaches the sea (dead sea) this is the result of 96% of the river being consumed by us for national purposes – Israelis and Palestinians fighting for the water. 
  • Jesus being baptised – baptism believed to send you to heave to meet god and then be reborn again back to earth
  • Water in the desert will soon disappear as it evaporates in the desert heat.
  • Water is a mater of life and death
  • All religions rely on water and is key in all their histories
  • The creation of the world was abundant with water however it was god who gave water a purpose, he was the one to create the people the animals – he created constraints for the water he provided containment however water can still overpower in the form of tsunamis/ Noah ark
  • Water provides life for nature
  • The crossing of the dead sea in Christianity was parted by god allowing enslaved children to cross, creating two walls of water
  • Moses striking a rock to reveal water source
  • Life, Deliverance, Freedom
  • Is it morally correct to own water and prevent it from others who may not be able to afford it, what right do we have of controlling water?
  • Water is a natural gift that is there for everyone, no sole person has more rights than anyone else - not morally right to be owned.

Abramovic Case Study - Research & Evaluation

Performance artist Marina Abramovic adopts a territory where both audience and artist coincide throughout the entirety of her performance. Abramovic’s early career commenced during the 1970’s an era where performance art was ridiculed, only fuelling her aspirations to prove critics wrong. Abramovic’s rhythm series, which constitutes of five individual performances from 1973 to 1974, scrutinizes the tensions between abandonment and control. At the forefront of Abramovic’s rhythm series is Rhythm 10 (Abramovic, M. 1973). Rhythm 10 consisted of Abramovic recording herself stabbing between the fingers of her left hand with 10 knives, as fast as she could; changing knives every time she cut herself. When all knives were used Abramovic would rewind the tape and playing it back, she then began re-performing the actions to the rhythm of the tape. Abramovic wilfully or not, subjected her performance to a rhythm over which she had limited control. Abramovic claims each cut manifesting itse

Bishops Art Prize what i am proposing - reflection & critical evaluation

Having not know what i was going to produce for the bishops art prize for most of this unit i am extremely happy with the outcome i have produce. I wanted to carry on developing my practise by exploring different casting styles which is exactly what i have done.  When i first brought the idea to the 3D workshop technicians they dismissed the possibilities of casting an organic form in concrete. Not wanting to fall at the first hurdle i began researching to see if anything like this has been done before with not much luck. After having further discussions with the technicians and drawing up possible options we came up with a process that seemed to be the most logical. At first i present the technicians with rather complicated plants to mould - this was a result of me not knowing the mould making process for silicone moulds and thus had to go back and get some organic material that was a lot easier suited to the casting process. Still not knowing for sure if the mould would work
