Concept
Frames have, for so long, subtly influenced how we experience what they hold within. One might declare the frame as a section of the whole artwork. Without being conscious of it the picture frame may be taken for granted. However, what happens if you take what the frame holds away and focus solely on the frame itself? If you take a moment to study the frame itself, you can appreciate all the work that went into making it; the carved ornaments, the gilding, the size. And then, frames become a marketing tool that allow dealers to bolster the value of paintings. Nothing says expensive like an elaborately carved and decorated gold-covered frame.
Past & Future by me
The Enigma of Isidore Ducasse and its contrafactual past
What if in the past, they already discovered what lied beneath that blanket? What if it was something they could not understand and found kind of disturbing? For the contrafactual past of 'The Enigma of Isidore Ducasse' I imagined people found a blanket that was showing them the future. This future represented things their minds could not yet fathom in that time . Therefore, they decided to never show that side of the blanket again.
For this work, I used the Sublimation printer to print my created images on fabric. On the outer side of the blanket, I wanted to bring back the texture of the blanket in the original work by Man Ray. The innards of the blanket contain the images of the future.
Afterwards, I made a composition to put the blanket on as I was trying to reproduce the mystery of the original work.
Sexy Relaxy and its radical future
What if in the future, the only chair being produced is the 'Sexy Relaxy'?? The one who sits will be forced to always sit with his/her legs open. And what happens if this person has a short skirt on and does not want to show off their genitalia?? Use the Censored Underwear! Underwear that keeps your genitalia hidden:
The pattern on the prototype of this underwear is a pixelated version of a woman's genitalia. I experimented with different patterns of 'censoring' and then I chose one. Using the Sublimation printer, I printed the chosen pattern on fabric and created the prototype.
Past & Future by fellow students
Future Frame by Zoe van Peperstraten
Goretti chose to focus on frames. For this assignment I had to make a speculative Future. While discussing her process, she mentioned that most of the times the frame of the painting takes away the attention of the artwork itself. So I came up with the idea that in the future this will change. Now the painting itself is the frame, and the frame is the artwork. Now you will focus more on the painting than the frame, and the frame isn't taking the attention away from te painting.
