Richard Serra-Fulcrum

Trip to London over easter holidays, just outside Liverpool street is Richard Serras Fulcrum. When standing inside definetly felt slightly uneasy as the giant sheets of metal really do look as though they are just balancing against each other. One of his works has killed someone in the past so that knowledge does give his work a real edge to say the least.

My work from the Underground. Basically the work was in response to the car park, working off the beams and the surroundings.

Artist Book

Artist book project, carrying on with the Fibonacci sequence, in the 1st box there are instructions:

Add last two numbers together

Write number on peice of paper

Put peice of paper to back of sequence

In the second box I did the first 50 numbers of the sequence, the third box had blank peices of paper and a pencil. All the artist books were put out on display in the corridor, some numbers had been added to the sequence which I was glad about.

Source Project

For the source project I started off by looking at an essay that Fred Sandback had written about his issues with sculpture. He had been given the advice to simple make a line with a ball of string. With this as inspiration I began making work using string as my basic material. I am interested in minimalism and this has been something I have been trying to work with, with the string. I had been trying to think of a way to create some order to the work I was making and began to look into the Fibonacci sequence. This is a sequence of numbers which can carry on until infinity by adding the last two numbers of the sequence together-

 

11 2 3 5 8 13 21…

 

I plan to investigate the Fibonacci sequence further by trying to produce a body of work which relates to each other through Fibonacci. I am unsure as to what exactly I will make but I hope to work through this by simply making and seeing what happens as a result.

Stelarc

Sitting/swaying event for rock suspension

In the centre of the hanging rocks Stelarc himself hangs, can see where the hooks are dug into him stretching his skin! Definetly a case of mind over matter to be able to carry out something which must be extremely painful. Something of an endurance test.

He is probably best known for his development in the movement of mail art but it is beleived that his death had been another and his last performance. On January 13th 1995 Ray Johnstons body was found drowned in the Sag Harbour Cove, Long Island. The reason for his death being considered to in fact be a performance was that when the police went to his appartment all of work had been turned to face the wall except from two pictures of himself, and left on the table in the centre of the room was the word Redrum written on it.



Performance Art

At our art and theory lesson there was a lot of talk about performance art. Ive never done any kind of performace before but I really enjoyed this lecture, a lot of it I guess did have a kind of shock factor to it but I couldnt help but find it really interesting the way some people were able to completly put themselves out there something I dont quite think I have the guts to do yet. But heres some of the artist that caught my eye.
