JOE & JIMMY - WEEK 2 - PROJECT BRIEF

Hello

We hope you enjoyed yesterdays Peckham Tour. At the bottom of this post, we have links to all the galleries you visited.

As mentioned yesterday, we would like each group to write a 10 point manifesto.
Here is a link to wikipedia -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_manifesto

You will need to get together in groups and discuss this – but it shouldn’t be too time consuming. This need only be in bullet-point form (at this stage). Feel free to post your manifesto onto the blog so that everyone can see.

The next stage of the project is as follows. You should begin work on this immediately. This will carry on until the end of the project. Please choose ONE of the options below. These are guidelines.

1 – Exhibition Proposal
Using your manifesto as a starting point, we’d like you to put together a detailed proposal for an exhibition. This may be an exhibition that takes place later in the year. It may be an exhibition that never happens. This can be an attempt to redefine the common view of an exhibition. This can be a publication, a film, a discussion.

2 – Exhibition
Using your manifesto, organise an exhibition. This can take place anywhere. You will need to find/make work to put in your exhibition. It should be fully documented. You should also consider making a catalogue / invites / publication.

3 - Visual Journal / Research Publication
A report / document / visual diary of the 4 weeks. You may choose to focus upon the galleries you have visited / researched, and the curators you have heard speaking. Alternatively, you could focus on collaboration itself. A report into collaborative working practice (your own?). Perhaps this could also be exhibited?

4 – All of the above / Your own idea (email us)


Next Week - Project Presentations

We will look at your work next Monday, and discuss it. This will be in your groups, at set times. We will post times and places on the blog later this week.

If you have any questions, email us, or post them onto the blog. As we mentioned outside the Tate, this project is your project. It is a chance to make a project you want to make. It is about collaboration. It is important.
