COMMISSIONED WORK

SOCIAL MESSAGE
: His work investigates humankind’s ever-changing relationship to nature and technology. I feel that the purpose of sentient life is to enable us to become our own god or gods - as is evidenced in the birth of AI and nanotechnology.
ANTONI' GAUDI'
BACKGROUND
: Born in Reus (Terragona) or maybe in Riudoms, a small village near Reus. He lived his life mainly in Barcelona, to practice his career.
TRAINING
: 1870 starting his degree at "Escuela de Arquitctura" (Architecture school) in Barcelona and in the meantime working for various jobs.
ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE
: Antoni Gaudí found the essence and the meaning of architecture by following the very patterns of nature and by always respecting its laws.He did not copy it, but rather traced its course through a process of cooperation, and in that context he created the most beautiful, sustainable and effective work possible through his architecture. Gaudí himself once said: “originality consists of going back to the origins.”
COMMISSIONED WORK
: As an architect, his work was mainly commissioned. Some examples for his work can be: Parque Güell; Palacio Güell; Casa Mila; Casa Vicens; Gaudí’s work on the Nativity façade and Crypt of La Sagrada Familia; Casa Batlló; Crypt in Colonia Güell.
ANNETTE MESSAGER
BACKGROUND
: Born in France in 1943
TRAINING
: Between 1962 and 1966, Messager attended the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France. She was the partner of the late artist Christian Boltanski.
SOCIAL MESSAGE
: Her work rejects traditional methods in visual arts such as painting in favour of "bricolage" works that combine media and subvert value systems, often making experimental use of methods traditionally designated to a "so-called feminine sensibility." "‘I found my voice as an artist when I stepped on a dead sparrow on a street in Paris in 1971. I didn’t know why, but I was sure this sparrow was important because it was something very fragile that was near me and my life, states Messager. The sparrow was soon joined by others and became the exhibit The Boarders, which launched her career in 1972.

AUDIENCE PRESENTATION
The work will be a sculpture with mixed media parts added around. Images could be projected on top too.
The work will be not only 3D, but also 360 degrees piece, so the audience will have to work around and pay attention to the details too
WHERE?
: The piece is thought to be exposed in a gallery or museum, which means in an indoor space. The scale will be medium big and this could be the first piece of a collection with different other sculpture that could be bigger or smaller, depending what story would describe.
SOCIAL MESSAGE
: The piece is intended to describe my relationship between myself and all the countries I lived in and how it defined myself as an artist and as a person. Migration is very common nowadays and every journey is different, but all feel like we leave pieces behind every time we leave a country, but I want to explain that this is not true. If life is a journey, every time we move to a new country, we got a brand new luggage to fill and mix with the rest that we already got. I have friends in Italy, in England and soon they will be in Spain too and would never leave them behind, because every time is a new experience.
MOVING FORWARD
MAIN FOCUS SO FAR
:
Architecture of Barcelona
Balconies: the Balconies are very spread and they are a way to tell about the stories of the people living in the house, depending on the things that they are exposing. I see balconies as a grey area between the private and the public
FOOD
as a metaphor to explain how the economy is based with it.
how shopping is based: there is a preferences of having small and specific shops rather than supermarkets such as Tesco (or in Spain, Carrefour)
Highliting the differences between the UK and Spain
History of the city and which movements have influenced it
GRAFFITI
For the city is not seen as an act of vandalism, but a very form of art, as it should be. The themes of the graffiti are different and various, such as the quality of life, the big gap between rich and poor, government critics and feminism as well.
ADDITIONAL WORK NEEDED
Talking more about the culture maybe?
Talking how people live, the everyday routine
including himan figure to connect with the FMP
EXPERIMENTATION
Initial sketches of Barcelona from the primary images that I took when I went there in February. Black markers on spots of watercolours
Graffiti: Inspired by El Pez, I tried to recreate his work, producing two pieces. Mainly used uniposca markers because the colours are very vibrant like spray cans but also ink.
The first one in squared, just with a big fish in the middle and having a plain background with written Barcelona all over.
The second one is much more complexed and it has Barcelona written in the middle and many different fishes all around it. using a much more wide palette of colour compared with the first one.
PROBLEM SOLVING: I choose to use ink as well because the range of markers was not enough and the ink so the only other material that I could use giving me the same vibrant effect.
Pigments: using pigments, I created two pieces of Mussels, from a picture that I took in
La Boqueria
, market near La Rambla
The first piece has been directly on the background created and refining the details with silver acrilics, mainly colour used were blue, black and light blue pigments
The second one, the background has been done apart and papercut the outlines of the mussels and the details were defined with black ink.
PROBLEM SOLVING: before doing the actually piece, I have a few test pieces with the pigments, as I never did it before. I realised doing my first piece, that the pigments were not controllable at all, for that reason the colours were going out of the lines of the mussels, so for the second piece I decided to do the background apart and papercut the lines of the mussels to stick on top.
Projection: using the original images of the mussel printed on acetate with the pigmented ones, I created a series of projection using also cellophane geometrical figures in different shapes placed on top of the acetate image.
PROBLEM SOLVING: using manual setting of the camera, adjusting shutter speed and exposure has been a challenge having also images that were overexposed because the setting I chose were not correct.
SCREEN PRINTING: Writing Barcelona with different fonts, creating with it a frame to add other images or other pieces of work in the middle. The only colour used was blue for the font, differing the colours of the background. Two of the background that I used were paper coloured with ink because of the vibrancy of the material.
PROBLEM SOLVING: The poorly choice of the paper has affected my work, as the colour was absorbed by the paper, and it did not come uniformly, even though the colour has been spread quite uniformly. I would probably redefine the edges of the ink background because the lettering went to the white parts, and I am not able to cut it as I would ruin the print itself.
The yellow background has been made with ink and left to dry for more than 24 hours, however the thickness of the paper was not enough that when I print the screen on top, the colours combined together, and they created green. Even though I was not expecting this result at all, I am quite proud of it because it realised a Gaudi' effect
WHAT IS THE SPECIFIC IDEA RELATED TO A SENSE OF PLACE? HOW ARE YOU COMMUNICATING THESE IDEAS?
I want to tell my own story through my FMP.
My life has been literally a journey and it has a past in two different countries, a present here in England and my future will be in another country again. Making it personal, I also want to create a connection with the audience, even though they haven't travelled, they could recognise themselves through my art.
FINAL MAJOR PROJECT IDEA
Creating a sculpture of a human body which will elevate to the top through the way the arms are positioned. The feet will blend with the roots and from there the some images from my past, my roots will be hanged. Other pieces and images will be hanged around the body, in the middle about my present and around the arms about Barcelona. The sculpture will be painted in white and a linocut of the city of Barcelona will be glued on top.
MATERIALS
:
Clay
for the body
Wooden mannequin
to have a reference to create the body
silicone
to create the cast for the body
linocut
previously created
wires
- to hang the images
possible wooden pieces for the pieces hanged
Depending what I want to create for the piece hanged I will progressily add the different materials used.
