Manifesto draft

Seems time is running out and I have to shape my project and get it on a right track…..here are some notes, will keep edit

Manifesto draft

• Sculpture, installation or anything related to spatial art.
• Reflecting the endangered animals dying reason, or
• Giving impact to the audience they are disappearing
• But not only showing the animal forms and gestures
• Functional is just a bonus, not a must

Item to be considered:

Materials:

Original material bought from shop???

Raw materials picked up in nature? e.g. Shane’s work

Recycling material development…..upcycling

Develop a new material for sculpture?!

Target:

Specific on one kind of animals?

General reason for a group of animal extinction?

>>> palm oil >>> deforestation >>> Malaysia and Indonesia>>> Tigers, Rhino, Gorilla and orangutan

>>>Black Market >> poaching for money >>> different animal parts? >>>how they trade? How they hunt? How they find them?

Important concepts:

Small animals survive longer >>> small art piece survive longer to pass the message

Successful art piece should combined with excellent making skill /and narrative of the context

Sculptor short interview

Today met an sculptor, will visit his studio soon. Just drop down some notes about what he said, will prepare some question for visiting his studio.

sculptors path issue:

– every year so many sculpture student graduate but only a few keep on working as sculptor –

– a sculptor need space to make, for storage –

– renting a studio is important but not easy –

– uni may only teach the concept part –

– dentist or doctor graduate with skills, could find job; sculptors graduate and need to walk on their own –

sculpture issue:

– making abstract art is difficult to judge –

– anything could be good or bad in the world of abstract –

– where he born without any sculpture history; for Asia, there are many like religion, soldiers, etc –
