Installation Art - University of Washington



Art 360 Final Project: TIME and SPACE

Final project may be:

- A significant development of either one of the previous assignments.

Significant development = taking it to a whole other dimension, expanding both conceptually and technically.

- A different project that uses some aspects of your previous ideas and considerations.

FINAL PROJECT MUST:

1. Consider space, - both physical and referenced site

e.g.: installation, video installation, public art, etc…

2. Be time-based in some respect

e.g.: performance, sound, video, light, web-based, interactive, etc…

3. Consider the audience

who is your audience?, how will they be engaged / interact with the project?

4. Consider the artist

e.g.: concept, artist’s role, etc… Make it personal and use your strengths!

THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO THE FINAL PROJECT:

1. PROJECT PROPOSAL:

Prepare a professional project proposal (you may really use this in the future).

Proposals are due for in-class peer review: Monday May 21.

Check-list of materials required for proposal submission:

□ Artistic Bio: 1 short paragraph in essay format

Short description of your education, internships, artistic skills and accomplishments, other relevant experience, including exhibitions and awards.

□ Project Description

A concise description of your idea. Answer the three basic questions (WHAT? WHY? HOW?) in essay format. Give careful consideration to the content and scope of your proposed project. Remember that clarity of the project description is more important than word count.

□ Supportive materials: Project plans (scale drawings and models) Material samples, Work sample of already completed similar work (video or images)

□ Annotated list of supportive materials (explanation sheet)

2. MAKING OF THE PROJECT

3. DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROJECT:

This is the only format to be presented in class. Prepare your materials to be as descriptive of the entire project as possible but no longer in duration than 5-7 minutes (including your commentary).

Documentation needs to be on a DVD. Use iDVD, organize your documentation materials with separate buttons. E.g.: slideshow of preparatory images, images of the piece installed, video of people interacting with the piece, etc)

Make two copies: One of them will remain yours; the second one will be used by Timea for class documentation and will be reviewed at grading.
