Designer/Graphic Artist Ed Fella's Letters On America....His Polaroid collections of found type (often hand-drawn signs and notices) show his interest in the flouting of rules and strictures, when it comes to typographic and graphic design, that is so evident in his own work. However the book has a very simple grid system into which each Polaroid is given space.

Designer/Graphic Artist Alan Fletcher's workspace reveals a very ordered and spatially considered approach to displaying stuff that matters to him. He was an ardent collector of stuff...Found ephemera, found letters cutout from cardboard boxes, different used pencils, inspirational quotes, postcards, newspaper cuttings, etc, all catalogued and stored in an aesthetically pleasing manner. They were the inspiration for his inspiration-inducing books The Art of Looking Sideways, and Picturing and Poeting.

Paul Elliman's Bits...A typeface derived from the collection of parts and utensils that interested him

Classification / Labelling/Describing of collections of toolheads from archaeological finds.

Daniel Spoerri, whose collections find their way into his work in seemingly allegorical combinations in their display.

Joseph Cornell's "Object (Roses des Vents)". This took him nearly ten years to make and contained images and objects that represented all the voyages that he never took but clearly fantasised about.

Annette Messager's work often uses newspaper cutouts, illustrations and found and handcrafted objects, and collages them into installations reminiscent of taxidermy or specimen display, depicting such themes as self-identity, sexuality and the body, explorations of life and death, good and evil, human and animal.

Eduardo Paolozzi's work ... referencing the objects he was an avid collector of, and classifying and ordering them in their appearance in his innovations in collage, silkscreen and sculpture that made him so influential.

Peter Blake, pop art legend and avid collector, also drew on his collections as constant sources for his work.

Approaches for Perform brief

2011-10-08T14:58:00.000-07:00

Whilst these are all filmed, they have real time movement and employ imagemaking and atmosphere making techniques that are within your grasp in a live performance. Many also have a the sense of a static viewpoint, much the same as you will likely be dealing with with an audience watching you perform within a certain space.

PANDA BEAR "Surfer's Hymn" from m ss ng p eces on Vimeo. Clever use of darkness and projections and high contrast black and white.

The Paper Cinema. Nic Beard, the creator, came to talk to our first year a couple of years ago. He is an avid location sketcher and is able to capture so much character in his static imagery that when combined with the movement of the images on batons in layers in front of a camera, you almost forget that this is not animation in the conventional sense.

Bad Things That Could Happen from This Is It on Vimeo. Playful use of scale and movement, and ingenuity in creating illusions of things such as fire and written words, all using simple materials with clever attention to detail and strong aesthetic cohesion.

The Lindisfarne Gospels is an illuminated Latin manuscript of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke andJohn in the British Library. The manuscript was produced on Lindisfarne in Northumbria in the late 7th century or early 8th century.

Voticism Manifesto

2011-03-01T06:03:00.001-08:00

The Vorticism group began with the Rebel Art Centre which Wyndham Lewis and others established after disagreeing with Omega Workshops founder Roger Fry, and has roots in the Bloomsbury Group, Cubism, and Futurism.

The Stuckists

2011-03-01T05:55:00.000-08:00

Stuckism is an international art movement that was founded in 1999 by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson to promote figurative painting in opposition to conceptual art. The first group of thirteen British artists has since expanded, as of February 2011, to 211 groups in 48 countries. Read their manifesto here.

Matthew Barney

2011-01-24T13:05:00.000-08:00

Barney's cinematic work on the 'Cremaster Cycle' relies heavily on the use of costumes. Below is a trailer for the whole series of 5 feature length films. They are symbol laden, esoteric and although no always full body costumes, can give you an idea of how much the bodies shape can be altered with costume.

Paul McCarthy

2011-01-24T12:51:00.000-08:00

McCarthy's video work involve a range of costumes. McCarthy's main interest lies in everyday activities and the mess created by them, his other works range from large inflatables to more traditional sculptures. see his video 'painter' here.

Martin Engelbrecht + Nicolas de l'Armessin

2011-01-24T12:36:00.000-08:00

At the end of the 17th century Nicolas de l'Armessin (one of them: there were a few artisans by that name) engraved a series of plates - Costumes Grotesques - in which tradesmen and their occupations were depicted with the tools of their trade as body parts.

In 1730 Martin Engelbrecht released his series of similar figures to de l'Armessin (Assemblage nouveau des manouvries habilles).

During the 19th century when the idea of physiognomy - judging characters by their physical appearance (eg. phrenology) - had its greatest following, English lithographic artists GE Madeley and G Spratt released another series (itself after Cooke's 'Implemental Characters') of occupation prints. The pseudo-anthropomorphic illustrations were issued just prior to the Victorian industrial period when satirical presentation of the 'machine-age' was common.

Hew Locke

2011-01-24T12:28:00.001-08:00

Locke's work often focuses on the investigation of power. His investigation in the display of Power has expanded into new areas such as royal and swagger portraiture, coats-of-arms, public statuary, trophies, masculinity, company share certificates, weaponry and costume (displayed in the images above).

Gareth Pugh.

2011-01-24T12:18:00.000-08:00

Gareth Pugh was mentioned for the last years students but i am going to mention him again as his work is a perfect reference point for the next part of the Author project. Elements in his designs include PVC inflated into voluminous coats, black and white patchwork squares, Perspex discs linked like chain mail, and shiny latex masks and leggings; he has used materials including mink, parachute silk, foam footballs, afro-weave synthetic hair, and electrically charged plastic in his clothing.Pugh describes his designs as being "about the struggle between lightness and darkness." see a video used for his first foray into the Italian fashion world here.

Prison Technology

2011-01-19T03:57:00.000-08:00

The material constraint of a prison inspire fantastic innovation and re-use of made parts. A lot of the devices made in this manner are crude weapons, but others include eating implements, tattoo instruments, music, and other tools.

Above you see an electric cooking stove made with wire element and a brick. Different environments lead to different solutions to life's challenges, resulting in this wide variety of accoutrements.

Above is a description of how to make a cup out of a toilet roll, and how to hide it in your cell.

Scott Garrett - Gestures From Around The World.

2011-01-19T03:41:00.000-08:00

Arabic
“al-Hamdu li-llaah”
Means: "Praise be to God"
How to do it: after shaking hands, place right hand across the chest and bow head briefly. This is a sign of respect to someone of high office or an older person, such as your partner’s parents.

Russian
“Zachem tak slozhnu?”
Means: “Why so complicated?”
How to do it: reach behind head and scratch left ear with right hand or vice versa – means that something has been expressed backwards or has been made too complicated.

Gestures, as well as language and objects, can help you interact and communicate with the society that surrounds you.

Manual for Survival - Protect and Survive.

2011-01-19T02:51:00.000-08:00

Protect and Survive was a public information series on civil defence produced by the British government during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was intended to inform British citizens on how to protect themselves during a nuclear attack, and consisted of a mixture of pamphlets, radio broadcasts, and public information films. The series had originally been intended for distribution only in the event of dire national emergency, but provoked such intense public interest that the pamphlets were authorised for general release.

Philip Guston.

2011-01-19T02:07:00.000-08:00

Gustons work moved from abstract expressionism in the late 1960's and settled on more representational style. In this body of work he created a lexicon of images such as Klansmen, lightbulbs, shoes, cigarettes, and clocks. The seem to speak of the world that surrounded him, but also they were symbols of that which was not present.

Walden

2011-01-19T01:53:00.000-08:00

Walden (first published as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is an American book written by noted Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self reliance. An investigation into what is self sufficiency.

ghanaian coffins

2010-11-29T06:59:00.000-08:00

These coffins, made in Accra, Ghana reflect the unfulfilled dreams, and even the trade of the dead person.

The story goes that in the first half of last century one Ata Owoo was well-known for making magnificent chairs to transport the village chief on poles or the shoulders of minions.

When Owoo had finished one particularly elaborate creation, an eagle, a neighbouring chief wanted one too, this time in the shape of a cocoa pod. A major crop in Ghana.

However, the chief next door died before the bean was finished and so it became his coffin.

Then in 1951, the grandmother of one of Owoo's apprentices died.

She had never been in an aeroplane, so he built her one for her funeral, and the 50 year old tradition was born.

Surrounded by all kinds of objects,
Baas created an assemblage, in which
all objects gained a new function. A
chair became a bookshelf; a lampshade
became a vase, a violin a coat rack.
For this design, Baas collaborates
with several second hand stores in
the region of Eindhoven, saving products
from the rubbish container which could
not be sold in the shop. Since the
products are always different, every
“Hey, chair be a bookshelf!” is a
unique piece. The often weak second
hand products are reinforced by
polyester and coated by hand, in a
Poly-Urethane coating.

Keeping the war theme Afghan war rugs include hand woven images from both the Soviet and the current ongoing conflict. Little is know as to why the locals produce them, but they certainly change the warm and homely meaning of a rug. look here for the Fyke collection of rugs online.

Gold plated weapons

2010-11-15T04:28:00.000-08:00

Keeping the gold theme, during the war in Iraq a collection of gold weapons belonging to Sadam Hussein was found, harking back to a time when materials of warfare and decoration were considered at the same time; in turn changing the connotations of the object.

Gold Bic Pen Cap
solid gold, cast from the cap of a Bic pen

'By replacing the cap of a standard Bic pen with a cast gold replica, this ubiquitous, generic writing implement is aligned with aspirations of luxury and trophies of academic and corporate achievement. It transforms the Bic pen it covers from a disposable tool into a hybrid carrier of value its owner might not want to misplace.'

Daniel Eatock's work ranges from high end commercial graphic design to what could almost be classed as pure art practice. Objects are a continued theme in many of his projects. see more here.

The Drawing Room

2010-11-11T06:40:00.000-08:00

Best Laid Plans

11 November 2010 – 23 January 2011

Gallery open Wednesday – Sunday 12.00 to 18.00

(gallery closed 20 Dec - 5 Jan 2011)

The artists in this exhibition use different forms of drawing to create models for alternative ways of living in or viewing the modern world. Strategic planning is associated with ‘objective’ graphic forms such as maps, diagrams, graphs, charts and sketches. Turning such a notion on its head, the works in this exhibition explore fantastical scenarios, impossible geographies, new beings and habitats and subtle subversions of life as we know it. The international artists in Best Laid Plans exploit the positive potential of human fallibility and explore it as a force for imagining new forms of organisation and existence.

The Museum of Everything

2010-11-11T06:17:00.000-08:00

                                             By Helen Sumpter                                                                 Posted: Mon Sep 20 2010                                                          

With  Sir Peter Blake's private collections of art curios, taxidermy and  memorabilia about to go on display at the Museum of Everything, he takes  Helen Sumpter on a magical mystery tour. 
Behind  a pair of anonymous gates in west London, genial British pop art  pioneer Sir Peter Blake is taking me on a tour of his expansive  two-floor studio. For anyone with even a slight interest in the visual  aesthetic of vintage circuses and fairgrounds, music memorabilia,  Victorian taxidermy, folk art or sporting and theatrical curios, this is  the equivalent of being a kid in a candy shop. The space is stuffed  with art, found objects and ephemera that Blake has collected,  categorised and arranged, for his own pleasure, over his 60-year career.
'So  this is all Elvis stuff - one of my little put-together museums', he  explains, 'which includes an Elvis-branded condom; “Elvis” written on a  grain of rice; signed photos and three tickets for the next concert  Elvis would have done, if he hadn't died. This next room has a  collection of dolls - there's some Aunt Sally heads and cloth dolls by  the English designer Norah Wellings, with faces all based on Shirley  Temple. And this room is basically all collage - here's a framed  collection of lipstick kisses by an artist called David Inshaw. I think  that they might have been all the girls that he had affairs with.'  Elsewhere there's a full-size waxwork of boxer Sonny Liston, the shoes  worn by the famous Victorian dwarf General Tom Thumb and Blake's own  work, including an entire exhibition he is preparing for Waddington  Galleries in November, for which he is paying homage to ten artists who  have inspired him, including Joseph Cornell and Kurt Schwitters.
'I  began my collecting when I started in the Junior Art Department at  Gravesend School of Art when I was 14. There was a junkyard next to the  station and on my first visit I bought a set of leather-bound  Shakespeare, a papier maché tray and a painting of the Queen Mary that happened to be a kind of outsider art, and it all started from there.'
Although  Blake's collections were never created for public display, for the  first time a significant proportion of them will be going on show as  part of a new exhibition ('Exhibition #3'), curated with James Brett at  Primrose Hill's Museum of Everything. It's a good pairing. The stealth  hit from last year's Frieze Art Fair month, the first Museum of  Everything exhibition, which Blake contributed to, was inspired by  Brett's fascination with extraordinary artworks and objects, all created  in private by untrained individuals, working outside the mainstream.  This time the idea of non-traditional art is being extended to include  not only Blake's collections but other categories and collections of  self-taught creativity that share similar themes and a similar  aesthetic.
One such example is Potter's Museum of Curiosity. Begun  in 1861 by  Victorian taxidermist Walter Potter, the final collection  amounted to 6,000 stuffed animals, many arranged in elaborate and quirky  tableaux, such as 'The Guinea Pigs' Cricket Match' featuring 34 guinea  pigs in a country cricket game and school classroom of rabbits. The  collection was split up and sold at auction in 2003 but James Brett is  trying to borrow back as many of the major pieces as possible for this  show. Damien Hirst will be among those lending works and two will be  coming from Blake, who attended the sale. 'I first came across the  collection by chance when I was out cycling as a teenager and it was the  most extraordinary thing. At the auction I sat with David Bailey for a  lot of the time. He bought some skulls and Harry Hill was also there, I  think he bought the world's smallest dog.'
Punch and Judy  puppetry, the circus and the fairground are other potential themes that  are emerging for the exhibition and elements of Carter's Steam Fair (of  which both Blake and Brett are fans) may also be incorporated into the  final selection.
At the age of 78, Blake shows no sign of slowing  down, mentioning current projects as diverse as a painting commission  for the Knight Bachelors' chapel in St Paul's Cathedral and a  collaboration on a garden for next year's Chelsea Flower Show, for the  British Heart Foundation. But for the next few weeks he'll be  concentrating on the Museum of Everything. 'The exhibition is still  evolving so it might go off in all different directions before it opens.  In a way it's a conceptual art piece, we're just not quite sure what  the concept is yet. But what we do know is that people will walk around  and there will be things to look at and it probably won't be what anyone  expects'.
'Exhibition #3' is open from October 13-December 24 2010 at the Museum of Everything.

Jacques Tati's Play Time

2010-11-11T06:09:00.000-08:00

Playtime (1967), shot in 70mm, was the most risky and expensive work of Tati's career. Many of the figures in this film are cardboard cutouts. The stainless steel is really photographic prints stuck onto the walls and floor.

Though Playtime was a critical success (François Truffaut praised it as "a film that comes from another planet, where they make films differently"), it was a massive and expensive commercial failure, eventually resulting in Tati's bankruptcy.

Adam Dant

2010-11-07T07:09:00.000-08:00

Dant creates dense, cartoon like drawings, often possessed of a dysfunctional semicircular logic. Mishap and folly proliferate his work. Museums are common subjects, as are maps and complicated jokes. Dant's works often take the form of wall hung drawings and have been described as Hogarthian or Swiftian especially in relation to his use of satire.
His new work continues Adam Dant's interest in depicting and interacting with the public space, the anecdotal and Utopian grand models.

Learn more about Mr Grosz here.
His angry, 'biting' satire results in acute and unforgiving depictions of Berliners C1920. The line work is exemplary and his powers of observation hard won - lots of hours/days of drawing from life.

Andre Masson

2010-11-04T05:50:00.000-07:00

Masson was one main figures of the surrealists movement, a keen exponent of automatic drawing. Masson would often force himself to work under strict conditions, for example, after long periods of time without food or sleep, or under the influence of drugs. He believed forcing himself into a reduced state of consciousness would help his art be free from rational control, and hence get closer to the workings of his subconscious mind.

Desmond Paul Henry

2010-11-01T04:31:00.001-07:00

Desmond Paul Henry ranks among one of the few early British pioneers of Computer Art/Graphics of the 1960's. During this period he constructed a total of three mechanical drawing machines (in 1960, '63 and '67) based around the components of analogue bombsight computers. Henry’s life-long passion for all things mechanical inspired him to purchase an army surplus analogue bombsight computer in the early 1950s. For years he would gaze transfixed at the ‘peerless parabolas’ (Henry) of its inner working parts when in motion. Then in the early sixties he decided to try and capture these mechanical motions on paper and so was born the first of a series of three drawing machines based around the components of the bombsight computer itself.

Cy Twombly

2010-11-01T04:21:00.001-07:00

Cy Twombly's calligraphic work is elegant but somehow awkward at the same time. It plays with the letter forms that are reproduced by us intuitively every day, and the materials of chalk and blackboards which are loaded with meanings pertaining to the teaching and learning process.

Nick White

2010-11-01T02:54:00.000-07:00

As with Nick White's work, think how through focus on the process and materials used while drawing images can form and grow intuitively.

Daniel Zeller

2010-11-01T02:39:00.001-07:00

video of daniel zeller working in his studio gives a good insight to the materials/methods and the overall time needed to produce such dense and visually intricate images. While engaging with drawing process try to keep communication of ideas as a central theme, don't slip into simple surface decoration.

Hello (again) to the new first year. I Thought I would kick of the new information added to the blog by suggesting you all make a visit to tate britain before the onset of work in the studio. There is the labyrinthine installation by tuner prize nominee Mike Nelson - room upon room of unnerving props/sets to wander through.

Also there is fiona banner's work to peruse in the main space. She has installed two ex RAF planes one of which has been polished back to the raw metal.

then just round the corner at Chelsea Space, Chelsea School of Art's exhibition space, there is a small but perfectly formed Barney Bubbles exhibition. The graphic designer noted for, amongst other things, his highly symbol laden records sleeves...

Well done to you all. Some very accomplished work in terms of ideas, narrative and depiction, and for many of you a first foray into film making/animation to any large degree, so the technical aspects are also showing great promise.

Here is the link of those uploaded to Vimeo...

SEE THIS. Ronald Searle exhibition.

This show at the cartoonmuseum is really good.

Ronald Searle - Graphic Master
A 90th birthday celebration
3 March – 4 July 2010
‘To say he is an artist is no more than the truth, but he is more than that: he is our greatest living cartoonist with a lifelong dedication to his craft … His work is truly international, yet absolutely grounded in the English comic tradition.’   Steve Bell
Possibly useful for your show in that there are lots of the very most excellent drawing as reportage you will ever see.

At the risk of being Bombastic (what Me, Bombastic?) I would say that all people who hope to call themselves illustrators or cartoonists should see this show.
