Initial Project Ideas

Posted: February 28, 2012 by FaridaB in Uncategorized

Once the group was formed, many ideas were generated through brainstorming sessions. Keeping into consideration, the local area of the gallery, Christianna and I came up with quite a few good ideas and dismissed others for several differing reasons. These were some of the ideas I suggested:

  • Land Art – (not practical as permission would need to be required from the council).
  • Looking at TIME, Past & Present – Sourcing images/photos from the local area going back many years. (Worries of cost escalating).
  • Words, Phrases, Comments, Text – Using familiar/unfamiliar languages creating a narrative or several narratives. Christianna liked this idea and suggested we could use a roll of fabric that could be rolled up and down by the viewer reading the text.
  • Sourcing fabric from different cultures within this area (Wentworth Street) and utilising it somehow within a piece or pieces of art – This links with Christianna’s idea for a Union Jack suggestion.

Our journey began with the setting up of the group, which in itself was a task.

The group members for this project are:

Francesco, Farida, Maryam & Christianna.

Welcome to all members of Group 6, the authors of this blog and also to you all out there occupying the world wide web space.
Feel free to follow us on our journey through this project, where we will be questioning and investigating the notion of occupying or interacting with space, whether private or public.
