I am filling the pages with the photographs that I took of some bunkers in Guernsey (see the post on my blog </span></span><a href="http://comedownarts.blogspot.com/2010/01/concrete-german-bunkers.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">here</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">). I have started these journals by organising the pictures into categories to try and make sense of the images rather than sticking them in in the order they were taken. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I feel it is important to have physical copies of this type of research so it is possible to look back at your starting points and reflect on them from perspective. Photos can often be lost and forgotten when they are on a computer, so having books like these helps to encourage reflection on past influences.</span>Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10212605150881101207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558195617056882578.post-58104534078783975362010-01-30T10:27:00.000-08:002010-01-30T10:27:36.667-08:00Developmental Journals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTJzS1sRGnsESjxPTuWcJ25ltnbPoiEqhsvdCE9lzwQRo99UaoyYDs3b-XI-ekwgPbMeWCdr24UZNvkED3L-v8lAtQgAftQqmpNwp2zXZG8lCC6JAO4EC6PrCijxDq8m363S_TMAA0kr9z/s1600-h/DSC_1025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTJzS1sRGnsESjxPTuWcJ25ltnbPoiEqhsvdCE9lzwQRo99UaoyYDs3b-XI-ekwgPbMeWCdr24UZNvkED3L-v8lAtQgAftQqmpNwp2zXZG8lCC6JAO4EC6PrCijxDq8m363S_TMAA0kr9z/s400/DSC_1025.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I have decided that an effective way to show how my work develops would be to make mini journals filled with photos of developmental work. I am taking a minimal approach to them, having little writing, if any. I hope the way that I choose to photograph and lay out the pictures will say enough about the development of my work for others to understand my processes.</span></span></div></div>Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10212605150881101207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558195617056882578.post-17733049006219791562010-01-27T22:01:00.000-08:002010-01-27T22:37:44.895-08:00Taking Control<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Since the 'room project' started a couple of weeks ago, I have found myself being pulled towards two different thought paths. The first being about my interest in the properties of concrete and our expectations of concretes properties. The second idea is about the control of people and their movements. I have managed to articulate my thoughts about these subjects by writing a statement for each concept:<br />
<br />
</span></span><b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1) </span></span></b><span style="line-height: 20px;"><b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I am interested in the properties of concrete - weight, density, sturdiness... I want to challenge our understanding of these properties by creating an object that contradicts our perception of how that material acts.</span></span></b></span><b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
2) I am interested in the power I have as an artist to control people and their movements. I use concrete as a medium for this because of its powerful, dominant, formidable qualities. I also feel that concrete directly and indirectly affects our movements and lifestyles subconsciously every day, regardless of what work I produce.</span></span></b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
For the first idea I am considering tricking the audience of my work into thinking something is wrong with the sculptures. As well as making them feel uneasy by allowing them to experience a material that they had entrusted to act in one way when it seems to be acting in another. You can see examples of general ideas I have had below.</span></span></span><br />

Today I came up with an idea involving completely discontinuing the use of a space rather than just changing the way the space is used. The idea is to block off the door leading into the room in which a writing and curation BA is taught. A close friend of mine does that course and says there are 4 different doors leading to the room. She will be showing me around the room tomorrow so I can </span></span><b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">gain a better understanding of how the space is used, and what relevance the doorway is to those that use it. I will want to understand what ways the door is utilised so I know how I can affect or disaffect its use.</span></span></b><br />

It focused on those that have not yet been recognised as major emotions. I found the section on elevation particularly thought-provoking.

However, it would be interesting to see how much art can affect peoples emotions and if it is possible for art to bring out emotions like elevation. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The Article can be found </span></span><a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20527431.300-five-emotions-you-never-knew-you-had.html?full=true"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">here</span></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> on the New Scientist website.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am interested in the power I have as an artist to control people and their movements. I use concrete as a medium for this because of its powerful, dominant, formidable qualities.

The first and third images below show my first ideas of using concrete to control the movements of people within a space. I feel concrete is an appropriate material to do this as it has become such a prevalent material in todays society. It is used to build just about everything in a modern city - buildings, pavements, roads, sign posts, bridges and stairs (amongst other things) are all made of or rely on concrete, and it is these things that physically affect our movements. Yet we seem to be unaware of these restrictions placed upon us indirectly by this widespread material.</span></span><br />

Most of the archive is British, but does feature some 'internationally significant holdings from around the world'.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The website claims that the collection includes 'A<span style="line-height: 15px;"> wealth of material of every genre from silent newsreels to CinemaScope epics, from home movies to avant-garde experiments, from classic documentaries to vintage television, from advertisements to 3-D films, soap opera to football'. What is really interesting is that they have recently released a large amount of their films onto Youtube, and every single video I have watched has been very charming. Below, for example, is a film from 1970 entitled 'Rush Hour'. It is by the British Transport Commission's film section, which was set up in 1949 for the purposes of training and external promotion.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: small; line-height: 15px;">I find the ongoing theme of the clock ticking makes it very engaging to watch, and shows how little needs to be done to make a film really successul in its purpose.</span></span><br />

The movie below is a documentation of what I did. Whilst making it I had no image of the final outcome in my head - I was simply experimenting with the different components of concrete - in this case, sand. After realising the final form of the sculpture, I played around with the idea of scale.</span></span><br />

It was the artwork that I spent the most time looking at, and for most of the time I was sat on the floor beside it because I couldn't get over how much it felt like a scaled down landscape. I think that I instinctively think of things on a large scale, as most of my work involves human interaction and is almost always on a large scale.</span></span><br />

</div><div><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The second and third pictures are pictures of a trial concrete mix I made on Tuesday. When I made a new mix i would simply grip the concrete just enough to leave the mark of my hand on it. When I picked it up today for the first time since it was dry, it felt very nice to hold. Although its not the most astheticly pleasing object in the world, it had an amazing effect on me. It </span></span><i><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">felt</span></span></i><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> sculptural.

Today I bought a bag of cement and sand as well as some basic equipment I will need (a large and small trowl, a bucket for water and a bucket for mixing). The bag that I bought is called Safe Mix/Soft Sand and Cement. It is a £6.26 bag with both cement and sand provided. This could save time if I move onto larger scale sculptures in the future as it will save me measuring roughly the correct amounts of sand and cement. Right now, all I am doing is playing around with different measurements and testing the limits of the material. but once I feel like I know what concrete is capable of then I will start moving onto making what I like to call 'proper' artworks.</span></span><br />

Although I have grown up around these structures I found the experience quite distressing and upsetting. Because these buildings have been around me my whole life I had never (until now) properly taken the time to think about what happened, I never made the link between me and those who suffered on my home island.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There really is something haunting about these great, grey blocks dotted around the island - they are a true reminder of something awful. However, do not feel as if they should not be here. They are one of the greatest living reminders of how to live our lives, and how to run a government. They represent the strength of the good, common people of the Channel Islands. They represent the strength of those Jews, Romanies, homosexuals, disabled, Slavs, Poles, Soviet PoW's and Jehovah's Witnesses who suffered and died because of this occupation. It was these people who built the bunkers as slave laborers, and you can almost feel the soul of those people as you interact with these incredible structures.</span></span><br />

</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;">I recently went from London to Leeds by coach, and between Sheffield and Leeds I started to notice the extensive amount of bridges there were. So i started to take pictures of every one we passed. I missed out a few on the way because t my annoyance the camera I had with me was shite. However, I feel that the grainy effect you get from the motion of the bus coupled with the slow, unadjustable shutter speed gives the series of pictures a reminiscent feeling of long distance travel. You are reminded of all the little things your eyes try so hard to focus on as you speed past the landscape that you wish you had more time to study.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Found this Blog: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://greenlineblog.com/2008/08/litracon-light-transmitting-concrete/">http://greenlineblog.com/2008/08/litracon-light-transmitting-concrete/</a> It is about a material that I have become increasingly interested in - translucent concrete.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The material - from the company LiTraCon (Light Transmitting Concrete) - works by adding 4% of optical glass fibres to a fine concrete mix, which in turn makes it possible for light and shadow to be seen through the concrete. Light can still be seen through it at 20 metres thick. Their website is <a href="http://www.litracon.hu/aboutus.php">here</a>. The only problem for me is that the concrete is very expensive! Here is the price list:</span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Knowing that I can not afford to buy this material, I really want to try and make my own version of it. I would have to buy some fiber optic cables and some concrete and then find the best way to get light to pass through. I have tried looking on the internet for places that sell the type of glass fibre optic cable that I need, but at the moment I can't find anywhere, which is a bit annoying. I am about to send an email to <a href="http://fiberoptix.com/">this company</a> asking them if they could supply me with it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I have already had countless ideas of what i could do with a material like this, so I am really exited about getting my hands dirty!</span></span>Charliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10212605150881101207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558195617056882578.post-15754855999791621342009-12-10T01:49:00.000-08:002009-12-10T01:57:00.188-08:00Christoph Niemann<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: white;">I just stumbled across this on the internet...

I really recommend going. The show is called Abstract America: New Painting from the U.S. But don't just expect painting, because in my opinion the sculptures and silk prints were better than most of the painting on display. And do not just expect Abstract works either. The word ‘abstract’ has been used very loosely here.</span></span><br />

Basicly, you do what it says on the tin: stare at the 4 black dots in the middle of the painting for 30 seconds then close your eyes and tilt your head back. Once your eyes are closed you should be able to see a portrait of Jesus, Che Guevara or Charles Manson! This piece really makes me question how the mind works. It would be interesting to find out why what happens, happens... (If that makes sense?)</span></span></span></span><br />
