Degree Show shop (meeting) - Notes & Reflection


  • Will be in the st Andrews canteen 
  • What i want to sell in the degree show will be submitted with everything else that is being sold in the shop - allows for them to produce a price list 
  • Best to sell pieces that relate to degree piece as to create cohesion 
  • good idea to create postcards of work
  • important to indicate what pieces are in the exhibition and whats for the shop
  • max 20 posters / postcards
  • think about packaging
  • important to make sure what i am selling is durable
  • installation instructions to the shop as well as the buyer ie hanging instructions
  • mention that its a hand made product
  • professionally package everything
  • make sure to label each item with a price 
  • submission 22nd may - 5th June
  • each design needs to be on a different submission - if postcards have different images need to be separate submissions 
  • 10 - 11 June hand in items for shop
  • shop clinics 13 and 21st may
  • Items that sell well - t-shirts, prints, tote bags, books/zines, textiles, stickers
  • possibly need a transit frame
  • items to look like something you would see in a gallery shop
  • label item with name and price
  • might be a idea to mention that ginkgo leaf symbolises peace
  • think about who is coming to the degree show - what sort of things would they buy
  • think about what people are willing to spend - don't over or under sell yourself

Things to question 
  • do i really want to sell my work?
  • what will i do with my work if it doesn't sell?
  • what does the work mean to me?
  • is it durable?
  • how will my work be transported
  • does my piece require a case making or any specific packaging?

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.

A plant having such a strong history and is very symbolic in multiple ways is something i'm extremely interested in exploring further. While investigating the ginkgo tree and seeing how this may become present in my artwork will be an on going process but i know i must not neglect other investigations - not to put all my eggs in one basket.  Research - Websites https://e360.yale.edu/features/peter_crane_history_of_ginkgo_earths_oldest_tree https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-29920359 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8941542/Akihiro-Takahashi.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/opinion/the-whis...
