As part of the course, we have been asked to join other artists to create our own successful exhibition based on a collective idea. The group I'm in have to decided to incorporate the idea of "provocation" and are looking at what we need versus what we want. It will link into stereotypes, consumerism, other countries and politics. At the first meeting we have decided:
- we are ALL going to go a month with no unnecessary or materialistic spending, from now until 11th Feb!!! Keeping a journal of this so we can compare notes, note down spending, urges, feelings etc
- thought about going out several times dressed in different personas/stereotypes (dressed up and then again with no make up etc) to compare the different reactions from people, how the nights differ etc
- documentation of EVERYTHING, film, photography, audio, journals
- think about venues, run down buildings maybe?
- getting Mark mcGowan involved. Maybe have some facebook debates with him about consumerism, control, materialsm, society in general
