New module start Monday 4 June 2018 – arghhh… no content access…

Mick shared in whats App group this below from Garys Tuesday office hours:
In conversation with Gary, he noted:

• The main thrust of this module is to clearly shape and describe the ‘how’ we practice photography, illustrated by our Work in Progress (shot this module).
• That said, re-photography by definition includes prior work. So using that in some useful and describable way in creating new work is valid.
• Simply scanning old work is not really ‘new’ work (even though the Natural History Museum claims copyright of digital images of historic photographs long out of copyright!).
• Using both old and new work, in books and exhibitions, including those activities featuring later in this module, is of course allowed.
• Just be very wary of using ‘old’ work in the final WIP portfolio for Surfaces and Strategies, as it carries 60% of the marks.
• Gary thought 18 images would be required.

We also discussed Claire Bishop‘s rather dense book “Artificial Hells“. Gary suggested some Tate videos, and admits he saw those before reading the book 🙂 I looked them up – links below, and much easier to follow.
