Evaluation for club Sound factory

 For this project I had a better understanding of what the final outcome had to be.  The only things I struggled with during this work was coming up with ideas that could link all of the group advertisement ideas together but eventually we came up with the idea that, “you will do anything to get to the club”. Such as brake out of jail for the weekend, escape from hospital or rise from the dead

When I was first given the brief I was not totally shore of what the final out come had to be, but as I progressed though doing the word process I kept up with the work and got a better understanding of the brief and what the final outcome had to be.

I got my research for this work from the Internet and of various websites. I found many fan websites for a few of the artists and also a few official websites that were put up by the artists them selves.If I was going to do this again I would make it better by including more publicity stunts and add more work techniques to the blog as well as more information too the artists research such as were they got their inspirations from.

I enjoyed doing the publicity stunts the most out of all the things in this project as it was all down to my own ideas. The think I disliked about this project was doing the artist research as it was research and I just don’t enjoy it as much as other activities.

I think as a group we should have passed the brief as we had a few publicity stunts that would have got lots of attention including a news paper report that would be in as many news papers as we could get it in, a web site for anyone who is interested an all the other stuff. If this was actually carried out it would be virtually impossible for no one to have noticed the club advertisements.

I managed to do It all in time by attempting to be one step ahead at all times this worked quite well however I could have done a bit more work if every task was better presented in a more understandable context. It was a quite enjoyable brief as far as briefs go.

 

Hear is the feedback I received.

“Lots of good ideas, poster is good, only some idea generating techniques, Lots of good mood boards & ideas that come from them, Like the use of the theme and the fake news report and spam mail. Very clear mood boards, news report is a very original idea, flyer is nicely presented. A few original ideas but groups individual work seems scattered. Clear mood board, nice newspaper idea and original. Good publicity stunts, Logo a bit plain, great use of colour on mood boards. Mind maps shows good info. Good website, newspaper, poster and advertising promotions. Good research. Poster didn’t connect to the publicity stunt.”

I see this is mainly positive feedback as there is a lot of complimentary information in their. From this feed back if I was to do it again I would help Chris design the logo a bit more as he didn’t do a very good job. And I would also make the poster fit the theme better by including some kind of stunt or a sentence. By doing this it would also make the group work seem less scatterd. I would also include more idear generating techniques some ideas i have come up with could be some one escaping hospital to get to the club or something along those lines.

Sam Taylor-Wood

Sam Taylor-Wood makes photographs and films that examine, through highly charged scenarios, our shared social and psyschological conditions. Taylor-Wood’s work examines the split between being and appearance, often placing her human subjects – either singly or in groups – in situations where the line between interior and external sense of self is in conflict. Her languid and silent film portrait of David Beckham, for example, which was shot in a single take, offers a serene alternative to this most intensively photographed celebrity. In Prelude in Air (2006) Taylor-Wood filmed a musician playing a piece of cello music by Bach, but the cello itself has been erased. Likewise, in Breach (Girl and Eunuch) (2001), a girl is portrayed sitting on the floor in the throes of grief, but the sound of her tears has been removed. In the celebrated film Still Life (2001), an impossibly beautiful bowl of fruit decays at an accelerated pace, creating a visceral momento mori. Taylor-Wood has also explored notions of weight and gravity in elegiac, poised photographs and films such as Ascension (2003) and a series of self-portraits (Self Portrait Suspended I – VIII) that depict the artist floating in mid air without the aid of any visible support. In her film The Last Century (2006), what appears to be a static image of a group of people slowly reveals itself to be a real, filmed take, timed to the length of a burning cigarette: the film is entirely static apart from the involuntary blinking, twitching and barely-visible breathing of four motionless actors, all arranged around a central figure as if in a group portrait painted by Rembrandt or Caravaggio. Recently, Taylor-Wood directed her first narrative short film, Love You More (2008), with a script by Patrick Marber. Sam Taylor-Wood was born in London in 1967 and has had numerous group and solo exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale (1997) and The Turner Prize (1998). Solo exhibitions include Kunsthalle Zurich (1997), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek (1997), Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC (1999), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid (2000), Hayward Gallery, London (2002), State Russian Museum, St Petersburg (2004), MCA, Moscow (2004), BALTIC, Gateshead (2006), MCA Sydney (2006) MoCA Cleveland (2007) and the Contemporary Art Museum, Houston (2008).

The club itself has took full advantage of

this mind boggling event and is handing

out replica models of the prisoner that

Mona Hatoum

Mona Hatoum was born in Beirut, Lebanon. During a visit to London in 1975, civil war broke out in Lebanon and she was forced into exile. She stayed in London, training at both the Byam Shaw School of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art (University College, London) between the years 1975 and 1981. In 1995 she was nominated for the Turner Prize for her exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, and for her show at the White Cube. In the early 1980s Hatoum began her artistic career with performance pieces, though later she moved from ‘live’ work to more mechanical installations, involving video, light, and sound. While mostly focusing on confrontational themes such as violence, oppression, and voyeurism, she has often made powerful references to the vulnerability and resistance, of our human bodies. In 1989 Hatoum exhibited her first major scuptural work ‘The Light At the End’ in the Showroom Gallery. The same piece was shown the following year in the British Art Show. Her Alive and Well was displayed in the Victoria Tunnel (a former air raid shelter under the streets of Newcastle-upon-Tyne) in 1990. She was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1995. In 1997, one of Hatoum’s works which had been purchased by Charles Saatchi was included in the Sensation exhibition which toured London, Berlin and New York.
