Assessment 3: Constriction

Continuing with my theme of tying things up, I experimented with winding jute twine around sisal rope, both chosen because they are natural fibres.

Top left: a simple loop in the end of the rope.

Top centre: a loop in the middle. With no way to finish off the end, I tied a knot and frayed the ends into tassels.

Top right: I tied a knot in the sisal then wound the jute. The most interesting part was the curvaceous part beneath the knot, so…

Centre left: twining twine all the way around a loop changed the way the sisal wanted to return to its natural kinked state and became circular.

Centre: I made a loop and twisted the sisal then wrapped it with the jute. What a cool shape!

Centre right: a double loop.

Bottom: the other end of the sisal. I made a single loop and frayed the end of the rope. It looks a bit like a tube anemone.

Lovely experiments!

I found some sticks while gardening and decided to wind them with twine.

Top: Jacarandas.

Bottom: Dry palm tree inflorescence. I added a hook so this one can hang.

Key works from the NAS Gallery visit that directly use citation and appropriation.

Task:

Team up with someone who didn’t go to the Nation Art School gallery. Explain one work you encountered that directly use citation and appropriation.

After discussing a work. Make a proposal for a work that uses citation or appropriation of another artwork. Exchange your proposal with another group and make an interpretation or the work. (40mins) 

Caught Stealing is an exhibition by contemporary Australian artists who mobilise theft as an artistic strategy in their work. A century after the first Dada photomontages, misappropriation continues in the diverse practices of artists demanding social justice, revisions of history, and ecological awareness. Motifs of piracy also signify resistance to the corporate control of the cultural sphere, as well as colonisation and its legacy in Australia.

List of Artist in Caught Stealing:

Hany Armanious, Daniel Boyd, Peter Burgess, Destiny Deacon and Virginia Fraser, Linda Dement, Fiona Hall, Shane Haseman, Sean Cordeiro and Claire Healy, Andrew Hurle, Harley Ives, Nancy Mauro-Flude, Tom Nicholson, Lillian O’Neil, Louise Paramor, Philjames, Joan Ross, Soda_Jerk and The Avalanches, Marian Tubbs, Gary Warner.

Some Examples (there are many other works if you can’t remember the artist ask Vicky or do some research:

The Great Debate!

Four teams will go head to head! You will either be on the affirmative or negative team.

Your arguments:

team one and two:

Richard Prince is the prince of appropriation making him the most important contemporary photographer working today.

  Untitled (Cowboy) by Richard Prince

Instagrams

Team three and four:

Sam Leach won the Wynne prize in 2010 with his painting Proposal for Landscaped Cosmos. This painting is an Australian landscape masterpiece despite (or indeed because of ) it’s heavy appropriation of 17th-century Dutch master Adam Pynacker painting Boatman Moored on the Side of a Lake.

Plunderphonics

“In 1989 Oswald released a greatly expanded album version of Plunderphonics with twenty-five tracks.[4] As on the EP, each track used material by just one artist. It reworked material by both popular musicians like The Beatles, and classical works such as Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. Like the EP, it was never offered for sale. A central idea behind the record was that the fact that all the sounds were "stolen" should be quite blatant. The packaging listed the sources of all the samples used, but authorization for them to be used on the record was neither sought nor given. All undistributed copies of plunderphonic were destroyed[5]after a threat of legal action from the Canadian Recording Industry Association on behalf of several of their clients (notably Michael Jackson, whose song "Bad" had been chopped into tiny pieces and rearranged as "Dab") who alleged copyright abuses. Various press statements by record industry representatives revealed that a particular item of contention was the album cover art which featured a transformed image of Michael Jackson derived from his Bad cover.[6]”
