The Brief
THE BRIEF
Inside /Outside Create a site-specific artwork for either an interior or
exterior space in the new building/surrounding courtyard area of the
Birley field campus in Hulme. Sites to be identified on the site visit.
Ideas can be developed around the history of the space and or its
current uses in education, sustainability or in response to the physical
space itself. This brief is designed to give you the opportunity to
understand the commission process, which involves presenting your
ideas to a client, and working with budgets and also working to scale
within a public site. Further information will be given at the briefing.
TIMELINE
BRIEFING: 17th December at 2:30pm in room BZ 106 followed by a
SITE VISIT to Birley Fields. To take part in this project you will need
to come to the briefing/site visit
PITCH PRESENTATIONS: Week beginning 25th January (details to
be confirmed).
THEORETICAL BUDGET - £1500 A budget has been allocated for
the design, manufacture and installation of the artworks. As part of
the brief you will produce a realistic breakdown of the costs of your
projected artworks, to include materials, fixings and installation and
present this at the pitch.
The live brief?
For the live brief I have decided to pick the Birley live
brief. I think I was drawn to this one from looking over the brief and
overcoming the words Education and sustainability. So instantly I am thinking
of how I can learn more about education and put into practise what I have
learnt so far with Edlab which is actually based in Birley. Hopefully I can use
Edlab as a connection during this live brief project.
What can I make?
Structure? Workshop?
Research on Birley
Focusing this week on what Birley want to be seen and recognised
for I think I shall focus my project on the community and education and try and
use sustainable materials as I have found Birley are very proud of what they
are doing right now with sustainability. For me when looking at Birleys site I
recognised that sustainability was a key factor for the building and what they
want to stand for.
What to do next?
Research more about workshops to see if its something I
defiantly want to try and tackle.
Also carry on with drawing work as a structure may still be
a possible outcome.
Gather experience if possible running a workshop so I understand
how to plan.
