we are looking at very different ways in submitting the research journals this year. I wanted to think about how to select pages that were of particular importance to you, and the things you can do to direct us to those pages, so I'm setting an activity this week that's about a kind of emphasis, and how you might emphasise something or reconsider it and change its value so that its importance is really highlighted within your journal.
you can see here in Marc Camille Chaimowicz's journal how I appear, and start to take up space within his work, as if I'm claiming it for myself in fact. really a research journal is a bit like this. so your own work comes to bear on those who are influences. so we might think of that as a form of annotation, we might think of that as a note-taking, and this particular case, I tried to think of myself as appearing within the context of the work, almost over-playing the ideas of collage that Chaimowicz is interested in. and ideas around the home and decor, there's a kind of irony here that I guess also ties in his work.
this week's provocation is all about research journals/collage. what I'd like you to do is use collage to implicate your own ideas on something that affects you, so find something, print something out, redraw something, and collage into it as a way of forming a commentary.
this is the original Chaimowicz work, actually in tate's collection so you can look it up online and look at what it looked like before my act of destruction.
Laura Owens, used a guide to using different types of stitching, uses this guide to test out her own paint marks, material/gestural process, on top of another material process, trying to look at how one might have an impact on another. bastardized version of the original, rude copyist, almost kind of joke on the politeness of what was there before.
-think about your own, what might you do to impact on a piece of research. not only is it something that you've claimed to have read, has marked by its presence in your journal, but also comes to bear upon the ways in which you make your work, and continues to have an effect on the work itself.
