Typology • Narrative Sequence • Text and Image • Fiction • Installation/Intervention • Photography in Film • Self-Portrait Assignment 5 Installation/Intervention Critique: 4/27, 5/2 (9am, sites to be determined) Take your photographs beyond the classroom walls and into the community. Together with your group members, elect a site in the greater Champaign-Urbana area in which to create an installation rooted in photography. Partake in the act of artistic intervention as you activate, call attention to, and/or give new meaning to a specific place. Carefully target your location; it should be ostensibly public and "non-art" in nature and have an apparent relationship with the material that you choose to install in it. Context is crucial to how the work is understood. The installation may include other media in addition to photography. Photographs of any kind are acceptable (black and white, color, original, found, polaroid, 35mm, digitally generated, etc.) Proper permissions must be obtained prior to installing work in a privately owned or university operated space. The work must be dismantled following the critique (unless permission has been obtained to extend its display). Photographic documentation of your work is recommended; however, it will not count toward fulfillment of photographic content in the work, nor will it enhance your grade. Production Requirements All aspects of the project are variable and are highly dependent on the chosen site and the message that you are trying to convey. An installation with twenty photographs is no better than one with five photographs if the concept is weak. Careful concept development and planning are crucial to the success of the work, as are teamwork and equitable division of labor. All members of the group will be expected to attend periodic meetings aimed at assessing progress on the work.
