Backup work for final project:

This is my backup work Vide for this  project. I have made the around map experiments with it to see how the shadow of the work look  for final work to do . I have found the shadow of the map looked great and also I found that if their is three light displayed to the top of  the map  it will show three shadow in once. The other part I have to experiment with strings which  I want to represent the three countries with strings colours  the fly's of the counties  . I have found other way to see how the natural things are moving with out machine. I thought wind is important part of humans life for leaving so I have found beautiful tree  in city park. The tree had great look for moving because tree breach was long touching the water neutral. I have filmed the moment that wind moving the tree beaches in different way.  For me the movement of tree look interested how the wind move things. For this project I want to make a map to move viewers can touch the map to see the shadow of the map.      

The final Project for this Course:

 

I have come up with map idea to represent myself in three countries that I have trave the end of last year. The main point is here how to represent myself and what material should I use for this map project. I have to experiments with lots of material also the most important point I real want to create a map could move and want viewers to touch the work to make the work move around.  I have tried to use machine that move but I think for this task it didn’t work well because the machine size is big. The other thing that want use for this project again string with three different colour to the show the couturiers symbol because I do want to draw the three countries shape to show where I have go because I want get viewers attentions . I love making artwork to make people more about meaning and the display. While what I real want for outcome of this project is around shape and three string colours. I want use the three colours because I want for this work the strings to represents the countries and the shape need to globe shape. I find this five images from internet I really like the view shadow it work well I want to make shadow map to move when person touch it. I really shadow work it look great when making shape with the shadow.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working on my final sculpture work  and making this sculpture I had some hard time to work hard to finish on time  I had learn that I have start early the pressing of the work.

Information about artist Gabriel Dawe's

 

 

 

Originally from Mexico City, Gabriel Dawe’s work is centered in the exploration of textiles, aiming to examine the complicated construction of gender and identity in his native Mexico and attempting to subvert the notions of masculinity and machismo prevalent in the present day. His site-specific installations also explore the connection between fashion and architecture, and how they relate to the human need for shelter in all its shapes and forms. His work has been exhibited in the US, Canada, Belgium, and the UK.

Artist Statement:

The Plexus series is an ongoing series of installations that explore on the implications of thread and fibers as loaded materials implicating the complicated construction of gender and identity not only in my native Mexico, but throughout the western world. These installations are related as well to the human need for shelter and man’s ultimate vulnerability. One thing fashion and architecture have in common is their function of protecting the individual. By taking the main component of clothing—sewing thread—and generating an architectural structure with it, scale and material are reversed to create a new construction that no longer shelters the material needs of the body, but instead creates something that is symbolic of the non- physical structures humanity needs to survive as a species. These new structures are ethereal and delicate thanks to the fine thread; yet, despite their insubstantial quality, the play of lines create a visual effect that affects the viewer’s perception, becoming a full sensorial experience.

With the Pain Series, I explore the way in which pain is an unavoidable aspect of life, and how every single human being carries it in one way or another. These intimate objects confront the viewers with their own vulnerability. Made out of deconstructed clothing, there is an immediacy in the recognition that they are portraying something that relates intimately to them, and that’s what makes them such powerful objects. The visual effect that the accumulation of pins produces, creates an illusion of armor and protection, which can be interpreted as the idea that the pain we endure makes us stronger, and helps us transform and grow into the beings we are.

 

Images sculpture of Gabriel Dawe's :

 

 

 

I have find artwork of Dawes really interest because the way he use colours and creating shapes in his artwork it looks beautiful  and he use public places for display his artwork and mostly he create lager work.  

 

 

Megan Geckler :

 

Upon first look, Megan Geckler’s work seems to be digital in nature; the colors are vibrant and unreal. Geckler’s process always begins with a site-visit during which she takes countless photographs, measurements and observations of the unique spaces in which she will work. This information is then translated into three-dimensional architectural drawings that help Geckler understand the site and aid in her ability to transform everyday elements of the architecture into focal points for her site-specific artworks. An installation can take a single day, or be completed over a series of weeks, depending on the size and scope of the project. In either case, each space is transformed into an immersive environment in which the viewer is given multiple pathways to experience the installation on their own terms.

Geckler has been exhibiting in galleries, museums and alternative spaces since 1998, with many shows in the United States and soon exhibiting around the globe. She has has mounted solo shows at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Pasadena Museum of California Art, Museum of Art and History and the Torrance Art Museum among others and has worked with clients such as Target, Urban Outfitters, Nike, Bobble and the Creative Artists Agency.

Geckler received her BFA from the Tyler School of Art / Temple University in 1998 and her MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 2001.

I have find this website it have great information about Marcel that he fowl time placement and creating artworks

Marcel said < I listened to this with my headphones on, and at times thought there were sounds coming from inside my house. There were surprising sounds that made me jump, and then laugh at myself for doing so. There is the sound of a Squeaky Toy and the sound of a Musical Box that is tuneless ... a little disturbing ...and then there comes the surprise ... a Horn ...just one sound of the Horn to jolt you out of your comfort zone! The Music Box continues and begins to jar a little on the nerves...I think "when will it end".....then finally there is a recognition of a nursery rhyme that you question .... is it or isn't it.... the the sounds end.

Naum Gabo

 

Who was GABO

Naum Gabo, a pioneer of constructive art, was born Naum Neemia Pevsner in Russia in 1890. He began making constructed sculpture in Norway in 1915, when he took the name of Gabo. He and his brother Antoine Pevsner, returned to Russia at the time of the Revolution. In 1920 Gabo wrote the Realistic Manifesto, an expression of the aims and philosophy behind his art, which was signed by Antoine and was posted on the streets of Moscow. In 1922 Gabo left Russia for Berlin, to exhibit in the Erste Russische Kunstaustellung (The First Russian Art Exhibition) at the Van Diemen Galerie. He did not return to Russia until he visited his remaining family in 1962, but lived and worked in Berlin until 1932, making constructed sculptures and a number of architectural projects.
In 1932 he left Germany for Paris remaining there until 1936, when he went to England. During his time there, he edited Circle: International Survey of Constructive Art (1937) with Leslie Martin and Ben Nicholson; he participated in a number of exhibitions and married Miriam Israels in 1936. He visited and exhibited in the USA in 1938 but spent the war in Cornwall, where his daughter, Nina, was born. The family left England to settle in the USA in 1946.
Gabo exhibited widely in both the USA and Europe, and lectured at Yale, Harvard, and Chicago. He took American citizenship in 1952, taught at the Harvard University Graduate School of Architecture (1953-54) and delivered the A.W. Mellon Lectures in 1959 in Washington DC. He completed a number of large commissions, including a 25 metre high free standing sculpture for the Bijenkorf Building in Rotterdam. In 1971 he was awarded an Honorary KBE by Queen Elizabeth ll. He continued to receive honours, prizes, commissions and international recognition until the end of his life. He died in Connecticut in 1977.

I really like these artists artwork because the way artists used strings as part of their sculpture work  and also they have used some support marliest  to build the sculpture.

 

 

 

Research about artists history:

I have find a vide about strings artwork that artists made in history and it the strings artwork famous as wall. Their is artists who create artwork by using strings and they artwork display in  art Gallery. I  have look this artists sculpture and they have create great artworks for public display.

 artists who work with strings are:
Naum Gabo, Barbra Hepworth,  Marcel Duchamp,
Gabriel Dawe, Megan Geckler and Pae White.

Discussion relating to the use of string as an art medium.

Script:

String - one of the humblest yet possibly most versatile art mediums - enjoys something of an unacknowledged art historical pedigree, having featured prominently in the work of many influential artists, including Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Henry Moore, Naum Gabo, Barbra Hepworth and Eva Hesse amoungst others.

But where did this use of string originate? The answer can be traced back to an unlikely source - mathematics.

String has the ability when held taught to produce straight lines, which in turn can be combined to produce exact angels. Straight lines and angels are used to form geometric shapes, specifically straight-sided polygons including squares and triangles. It is for these reasons that mathematicians in the 19th centaury used it to create a device called a surface model.

Surface models originated in Germany in 1847 at a time when there was a revival of geometric ideas in mathematics. University students studying military architecture and engineering at this time developed the models to help them visualize complex mathematical formula.

These models went on to be displayed in various museums around the world including the science museum in London. It was during a visit in 1937 that Henry Moore saw the models and became inspired to use string within his work and he went on to produce many sculptures that used it as a component.

Naum Gabo, the Russian-born Constructivist and the British sculptor Barbra Hepworth also credit these mathematical models as their inspiration to incorporate string within their work.

Garbo produced abstract sculptures using white thread to construct geometric forms around a plastic support structure. In comparison Hepworth, used natural materials such as metal, wood or stone to create organic and abstract sculpture. The addition of string to her work was used to provide a contrast, working either to soften or harden the angels within the overall composition.

The fact that the stringed mathematical model permeates the development of avant-garde art to a remarkable degree is further illustrated by its influence on the Surrealists.
In 1936, several examples of mathematical surface models were exhibited as artworks at the Parisian 'Exposition Surrealist Objet d'art'. The artist Marcel Duchamp saw these and was inspired to create Sixteen Miles of String for an exhibition of Surrealist art held in New York in 1942.
Duchamp used exactly sixteen miles of string to adorn the exhibition space and the resultant webbing defined visitors' experience by simultaneously making it difficult to access the works whilst at the same time physically and visually connecting them. It was the first example of site-specific string installation, which is a technique that several contemporary artists now use exclusively to create their artwork, including Gabriel Dawe, Megan Geckler and Pae White.

All three artists use colored strings to create large site-specific installations. They use the repetitious motion of stitch to layer the strings and build up 3D geometric forms that precisely fit the space they are designed for.

It is interesting to observe the visual similarities between these works and the surface models of the 19th centaury, both artists and mathematicians have been unified in their work because of this simple material.

Studio Propose

For this assignment I have planned to work with different colours of strings and use sign of  my religion  book . The reason that I have choice to work with strings because I am really interested using colours and making out of string shapes but I have also planed to use strings what our culture believe about God about his sign.  I want to create rainbow colours and sign of our religion book (Quran) on the top. why I have choice to work with colours based rainbow it's because in our culture what we believe the rainbow colour represent different meaning to nurture and world.  

 

The location that I plan to site my work is west bar Student Gallery. I want to make an artwork that is suitable for public place and I have planned to hang it up outside of the Bar Student Gallery. The Location that I have chosen to hang my work is a great public site because students and other various people use that location for resting, having lunch and drinks. It is also a great place for my artwork to be displayed as the artwork itself reflects on its surrounding. For example the colour of the surrounding reflects on the various colours of strings that I have used on my artwork which hence portrays the colours of the rainbow and the beauty of nature.   The main features for this location include, the hang point is not too high and the site has a great open view. These features helped in where to site my artwork and also gave me a clear visual vision of how I wanted my artwork to be displayed and seen.  

For the duration of this assignment I intend to develop a artwork that will reflect on the meaning of colours in the world. I want make an artwork that looks interesting and gets viewers attention. I want to create a medium sized sculpture with the materials of three or more different colour strings and a two box like wood frame.

Research about two mean element:
Quran
Rainbow colours

 

 

The Quran is the holy book which Muslims recite and turn to for guidance in all aspects of their life.

It is the last testament in a series of divine revelations from God. It comprises the unaltered and direct words of God, revealed through the Angel Gibrael, to the final Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh)1 some 1400 years ago. Islam is a continuation of the teachings of previous Prophets, such as Noah, Abraham, David, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all), some of whom were also given divine books. Muslims believe that the key message brought by all Prophets was the same; to believe in One God and not to associate partners with Him, to stay away from sins and to lead a life devoted to earning Gods pleasure. All Prophets taught about life after death and gave glad tidings of paradise for those who obey God, but warned of punishment in hell for those who choose to disobey Him.

The Quran is unique because it is the only revealed book that exists today in the precise form and content in which it was originally revealed. Furthermore, it was actively recorded during the time the religion was being established. The distinctive approach of the Quran is that its spiritual message includes practical injunctions aimed at the general welfare of human beings, society and the environment in which we live. The Qurans message is eternal and universal, transcending our differences in race, color, ethnicity and nationality. It provides guidance on every aspect of human life, from economics and the ethics of trade to marriage, divorce, gender issues, inheritance and parenting. It neither condemns nor tortures the flesh nor does it neglect the soul. It does not humanize God, nor does it deify man. The Quran describes signs of Gods existence in the universe and how everything is carefully placed in the total scheme of creation.

"Everything made so much sense.This is the beauty of the Quran; it asks you to reflect and reason....When I read the Quran further, it talked about prayer, kindness and charity. I was not a Muslim yet, but I felt the only answer for me was the Qur'an and God had sent it to me."

Rainbow colours meaning:

 

The colors of the rainbow take on different meanings in different contexts. However, the colors, generally, mean as follows: blue represents spirituality, yellow is wisdom, red is vitality and passion, orange is representative of creative energy, green of life and nature, indigo of vitality, and violet of transcendence. This color arc is considered the colors of emotions and is commonly accepted as meanings for each color.

Experiments and thinking about ideas of final work:

The image based on my work I have put as my backup this images because I want to use this ready artwork which  made by me last year. I through I could use this sculpture in different way with different meaning and ideas behind.  The green machine that I have made last year I could use different way change the colours and the story because it give more  time work on other assignment.
The white sculpture I have made last I also could use as part of my public art I could hang the figure and as poor people killing about no know people and just change the story. when looked at this ready made sculpture I could use as my backup work what I was thinking about the ideas as starting point for this public artwork.  This is the works that I have made last year but I  could use again replace story, meaning placement . The other thing that I really like is working with light  in public place. I have think about this ideas more.

 



Research for Ideas :

This artworks that I have finding from internet it help how create my own work and the artwork belong different artists one artwork of Iranian artist.  what I really about this arts the  way artists create the shapes and colours used.

Reflation on Hossein art:

The art work of Hossein look interested to study and learn about his ideas, and  what message he giving people about his artworks. He is public artists but he make different type of artwork and expiring his feeling or story through his sculpture work. one of his artwork looked interest for me the carpet or In Longing Belonging. I really like how he show his feeling and through  about Australian land through this work. While he set a fire to burn the carpet and his ideas was an improbable place  desert scrubland embodies the desires and disjunction of finding oneself in a new land and integrating into an alien landscape . I have got the ideas from Hossein artwork and I through I could make artwork that what I believe and what is important for me as part of my believe system. I will make sculpture work which have sign of book and different colours string.   

 

 I have got this image from internet when I looked at this image it made me feel so sad because so many people dies close to Australian and their hard work gone in minute way. I got idea to create sculpture board shape with foil and show the board is distorts in the water but it will be hard to show how the board distorts. It is just a thought that I had to make artwork.

 This an artist sculpture and I really like the creation of the sculpture the way artist create human figure as ghost face. It look interested how the artist show the emotion ghost and using black colours on the face foil around the body of figures. When I see this artwork I thought to my self to create something human shapes with foil and also use strong emotional feeling, creating something very sad.

 This is other artwork of  Anthony  that I really liked because the way artist create the sculpture it shows something bad happen to head. Its also made me to think  about poor people killed by tracers. other thing that this artwork made me to think about is one of my mother cousin killed by kidnappers in Afghanistan after two week when we come back to Australian 2014. The kidnapper cut his head from his body and send to his parents and when I heir this it made to think about my own country people what life they and how they leave their.

 I like this image because I seen the waterhole in Afghanistan,when I was their and it was so much fun taking out water. I thought I should make something fun object. I will think about this ideas more.

Igor Mitoraj   

Igor Mitoraj was born on 26 March 1944, the son of a Polish mother and a French father. He grew up in Poland, not far from Krakow.After studying at art college in Bielsko-Biala, Mitoraj began studying painting at the age of nineteen (1963) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. In the last three years of his studies, he was the pupil of Tadeusz Kantor (1914-1990), the famous painter, director and set designer, devoting himself exclusively to painting. In 1967, together with other students from the Krakow Academy, he took part in a collective exhibition held in the Krzysztofory Gallery in Krakow.

In 1968, following the advice of Kantor, Mitoraj left Poland to go to Paris to broaden his cultural

horizons. In the same year, he enrolled at the Ècole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he continued his studies. In 1976, after his first one man show at the “La Hune” gallery in Paris,he became convinced that he should devote himself to sculpture.

During the same period, he received prestigious awards such as the Montrauge “Sculpture Prize”; the
French Minister for Culture made a studio available for the sculptor at Montmartre in the Bateau
Lavoir. In 1986 he accepted an invitation to the 42nd Venice Art Biennale. In 1987 he bought a large studio in Pietrasanta. In 1989, he presented his works for the first time at the.
New York Academy of Art. In the years that followed, he exhibited his works in numerous
one man shows and received invitations to participate in large exhibitions in museums. He received
important international commissions for monumental sculptures to be displayed in the
leading cities of the world: in Milan with the “Fontana del Centauro” (Fountain of the Centaur) and at the Scala with “Omaggio a De Sabata” (A tribute to De Sabata), in Rome, London, Paris, Atlanta
and Tokyo. In 2001 he received the “Premio Vittorio De Sica”, a prize awarded to him by the President of the Italian Republic. In 2002 and 2006 he devoted himself to the sets and costumes of the operas “Manon Lescaut” and “Tosca” by Giacomo Puccini. In 2003 he made the monumental sculpture “Dea Roma” in Rome and in 2006 he made the monumental doors for the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri. Igor Mitoraj is an honorary citizen of the towns of Pietrasanta, Greve in Chianti, and

Massa Marittima.
In 2007 he was presented with the Honorary Degreee by the Academy of Krakow. In 2009 he completed two large projects: the first was designing the sets and costumes for the opera “Aida” at the Boboli Gardens while the second was the monumental door for the church of the Jesuits in Warsaw. In 2010 he was awarded an Honorary Degree in Archaeology at the Faculty of Cultural Heritage of Salento.

I like this sculpture because of the designing of the shapes and the materials used. It is really useful as it seems like a table.
