Keeping in the vein of sampling and the prominent figure of the DJ within hip hop our readings will concentrate in the topic of artists that deal with these notions. The readings are excerpts from a book called Postproduction by Nicolas Bourriaud, a French art critic and curator currently working as the Gulbenkian curator of contemporary art at the Tate in London. He also wrote a very important book called Relational Aesthetics that is prequal to this one. Bourriaud also was co-director of the Palais de Tokyo between 1996 and 2006, a very interesting curatorial contemporary art museum in France. You are to read the following chapters:
.Introduction
.The Use of Forms
Reading found here or in the link section of the blog under his name.
- if your collage is in color paint it in blacks, white and grays
- if your collage is in black and white paint it using only 3 colors
- Mix your colors to make more
- And of course, since you're painting it on 24x18 or bigger, you are blowing that part of the collage up.
Think about opacity, transparency, touch, tactility, juxtaposition, contrast, thick vs. thin, wet on wet, dry vs. wet...
Make sure you pick a part that is of interest to you and one that is interesting to paint. If you don't find it interesting chances are, no one will.
