Display Frames - Research & Evaluation

When deciding what frames to present my pressed plants in i thought it would be best to have both the vitrine and the frames from the same the material. Unfortunately because the vitrine was already made it meant that i now need to find frames that match the aesthetics of what i already have. Having brand new frames would look too clean compared to the worn wood on the display case. Finding second hand wood frames wasn't too much of a challenge however trying to find a set of frames that were all the same wasn't so easy. All the frames that were being sold in sets weren't wood, rather MDF covered in plastic. The aesthetic of the 'fake' wood looked rather cheap and would bring the quality of the work down overall. As a result of this i decided to pay for brand new wooden frames as it became alot simpler to find frames the right size, colour and quality. The only down side to this was that i couldn't view the frames in person till after they were made, implementing a level of risk onto whether my frames will be the desired colour and quality in person.

Reviewing some of the websites i looked at -

Website allowed for custom sizing, had a vintage style frame in dark wood, solid wood, cheap, highly recommend, most likely to match vitrine

Solid wood, didn't have custom sizing would need to be A3, more modern style

Only had frames in packs of 4 which i didn't want, more modern styles

Reviewing the websites above and a few others that i visited i decided to select the first website i looked at. ( www.frames.co.uk ) Their frames were the best price while still being able to get a custom sizing. In regards to aesthetics the colouring and style of the frames looks like it will match the vitrine well, however this can only be decided in person. This website also does next day delivery even n custom frames meaning i can start working on the presentation of the frames much quicker.

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
