IN PROCESS CRITIQUES
There will be three in-progress critiques, scheduled at regular intervals, for which students are required to present new work in progress and actively participate in discussions. “New work” is considered in the context of working towards the development of a significant work or body of work for exhibition + end of term critique. There are no set material or production expectations for the first IP Crit. Rather, it is a time to engage with the small group to establish expectations, navigate production of work for exhibition, and the development of your individual practices. Make use of course content including the expanded use of “research”, in class talks/PDFs, PPTs, supplied reference content, and discussions about practice and production. Note that it is not possible to offer feedback on content/work that we cannot see or experience. Concepts, ideas, and references should be provided with visual content, material, tests, and/or various forms of production/engagement. Consider how you want to visually share “new work” for a critique, for feedback and conversation organized to assist you in the process of making work and developing your practice. This is not easy to do and I understand that, especially the difficulties of working independently. As the syllabi says “Take Risks. Be Ambitious.” And, for encouragement I will add: trust in yourself & your practice while being open to exploration and the various opportunities that will present themselves along the way. For this IP Crit #1 you don’t need to know exactly what your term work will be or how you will do it. You need some references, directions, ideas and visual content engagements that give us a sense of the options and scope of the work you’re looking to do. If your having to choose I’d say focus on quality over quantity.
