Hi, this is the outline for today’s session
Part 1.Personal project development – you can use this time (90m) to work on your project’s presentation and/or have a personal tutorial
Part 2.Research presentation – during the last half of the session you will present your research project (or you final project if you are at that point)
The Project 2- the self and the masquerade- forms 37.5% of your assessment. Your production analysis counts 12.5%.
Submission deadline for the final prints: 7th May (in the unit guide), has now been extended to the 14th May due to bank holiday. the Mezz gallery is available for the project from the 9th of May, so those of you that have the work printed can start installing on the morning of the 9th
Guidelines for Research Presentation
For your research presentations you shoud show us:
• How your researched your topic of masquerade (in the popular media, in the history of art, in popular culture, etc)
• How you have done real library research and haven’t limited your presentation to information found on the internet alone.
• How you organised the information on the topic
• The concept for your photographic series and planning for your images if you have not produced them yet
• The use of the series (multiple images) to develop your concept
For this project you were required to produce a photographic series of portraits that explore the performative aspects related to the presentation of the self.
You were asked to engage with one or more of the following:
1.The concept of masquerade as a theoretical model to interpret photographically the staging of the self.
2. The relationship between performativity and cultural constructs such as gender, race, class, sexuality or disabilty.
3. The subversion of the gaze and visual pleasure in challenging fixed representations the body.
You were asked to produce a porftfolio of exhibition-quality prints according to these criteria (flexible for revision at the time of the exhibition):
- Printed for wall display
- Colour or black and white
- Size: A3
-Unmounted
Submission procedure: a cd in the following formats:
• Photographs selected for the exhibitiion must be digitised and saved as
1-tiff files at 300 dpi, 2-Jpeg files at 72dpi
• Text, including production analysis, as word documents.
