Studio Seminar - Kelly Chorpening

Kelly introduced her current works.
She captured some text and reassembled after cutting and enlarging text images.
She uses text from her favorite books: Meanings and relationship of the favorite books are getting lose throughout the process.

She also practice drawing from the installation. Though opposite method (from painting to installation) seemed to me rather much popular. She tries to keep back and forth - Create space while destroy space.

She need 9 months to complete a project video!

===What I learnt from this lecture================

I thought her approach, painting + animation, is interesting. It will be nice if I create an animation with using different texture shoot different time.
I want try many things but the time as a MA student is limited. I need to select interesting approaches. This artist believes both film and painting have positive side and negative side, and she decided to use both method in her approach to let them compliment each other. How about me? Can I create three dimensional work when I practice painting? It is challenging.

Research Method - Maiko Tustsumi & Michael Schwab

On Research and Practice

• Research into art & design
• Research through art and design
• Research for Art and design

Thinking trough practice.

Exhibiting Research--> inter-disciplinary

The Research Process

• Generates (problem / idea)
• Defines (research questions)
• Finds (research methodology)
• Solves (research out come)

Question

Context

Method

===What I lean from this lecture===

What if it is interesting but it is not art nor design?
What if the concept is interesting but boring as an art?

I thought these two questions are interesting. I hope my painting is interesting as well as art. How to build up concept is very difficult when what I'm going to paint is partly decided. I was told in Japan, talking about own work is the least thing to do. However, in UAL, Fine Art students are required to contribute through research and practice. This is very difficult for me because most of Japanese painting process (include techniques, particular motives, preparation etc.)will be nonsense in other countries.
