Tentative Title The Arena
Introduction Form: Private 'experience'/'encounter' for an individual in a setting associated with public gatherings, with an emphasis on an audience and a performer (such as a cinema/auditorium/theatre/circus/ballroom) Research: The individual within a group in particular settings and contexts. The performance of the self in public and in private. Psychology of group dynamics, the history of public entertainment, temporary and permanent spaces for group activity/theatrical spectacles.
So this is an environment like a theater but only one participant or viewer can be inside?
Questions:
What effect does the group have on the individual and vice versa? How this is reflected in architecture and design (use/absorb/mirror)
Experiment with various 'set-ups' for encounters, based on visits to existing spaces/situations and reading/writing research.
What do you mean by 'use/absorb/mirror? Is that part of the questions or something you will do i.e. use, absorb and mirror architecture?
Are the encounters you speak of those between and individual and a group?
Describe set-ups. You talk about the architecture which houses certain events that bring particular groups of people together, are you interested in scenography and constructing environments of your own for this project or are you more interested in engaging with pre-existing architecture and interior design?"
I could see you developing your own environments and structures to expose viewers to something they don't realize is happening to them all the time. Maybe this is just a matter of exaggerating structures that we take for granted.
Relation to previous practice
'Scenarios' – Volkshotel
Using chairs and diagrams created potential 'scenarios'
'Dinnerdate' – BuroRotterdam
Huis Sonneveld group crit
Relation to a larger context
History of staged events where the performers are 'real' people in scripted reality scenarios – Gladiators, Dance Marathons, Reality TV Architecture/Interior Design/Music as tools for manipulation – Neil Leach, Bryan Lawson, Alain de Botton Psychology of group dynamics – Asch, Milgram, Zimbardo Performance of the Self - Erving Goffman
Practical steps
Will simultaneously research the history of staged events and visit buildings/rooms/events such as cinemas, theatres, stadiums, lecture theatres, meeting rooms etc. Photograph/film/interventions in these spaces in order to record/analyse/understand them. Construct my own scenarios using furniture/sound/lighting. Invite people to spaces I have visited potentially for a screening/interaction
"When you say you will 'photograph/film/interventions', do you mean that you will photograph and film interventions that take place in these settings or that you will somehow intervene as an artist and document your own intervention?"
References Renz Circus Fellini They Shoot Horses Don't They Black Mirror Adam Curtis Neil Leach Alain de Botton Erving Goffman Soloman Asch Stanley Milgram Philip Zimbardo Ivan Pavlov John Bowlby
I would write in complete sentences and develop a bit more on the examples you use in order to clarify things for the reader.
I don't really have critique of your project.
