BEFORE FIRST DRAFT DEADLINE

INTRO/OUTRO (1st and 4th chapters)

(INTRO is basically ready, just need editing and re-framing - OUTRO will be written in April, just before final deadline)

STUDIO DIARY / ANNOTATIONS (2nd chapter)

. an episode from last year (or episodes? i think i have a couple more to add, at least one) - as a way to give an insight in what I made last year and how I came to my grad project and overall research and practice

. January Project Proposal (which contains excerpts from November PP) + Assessment afterthoughts and plans for the next months

to do:

keep on annotating the progress of my work, from now to April - description/"reading" of materials/images I'm working with and the way I am using them, the choices I make, the practical processes, ideas and observations that spark form it

A CATALOG/COMPENDIUM OF CONCEPTS, ATTITUDES, DRIVES. (working title) (3rd chapter)

A way to elaborate on and articulate what I am making, and why - as invited to do during January assessment. An exercise of repeatedly writing series of sentences/short paragraphs in which I try to define what I am interested in, as an artist, the field in which i am moving, as I often struggle to clearly understand and therefore explain/express what I'm interested in, what and why I make.

(to be written from now to April)

maybe integrate this last part with: annotating a selection (3? 5?) of other artists' works to understand them better and to better position my work in a broader context - as i was invited to do in assessment - discuss this with Steve - CASE STUDIES

-Why?

-I feel that alongside my “main” practice - which has consisted until now in making self-enclosed, mostly found-footage-and research- based, essayistic video works - I constantly produce a raw, instinctual body of work, which I would define as a constant practice of sketching-and-editing in various forms - (analog and digital) drawings, appropriating imagery through screenshots, making short video fragments mostly in the form of loops, graphic photoshop works - and which until now I have put aside - literally, as a pile of paper on my desk or neglected files on my desktop - as byproducts that are not worth too much attention and less valuable than my “safer” intellectual research-and-theory based work.
-I now want to focus more on this b-side of my work, embrace it, and understand its reasons, as I feel it is possibly my most honest, personal and fertile artistic approach and that, also, could turn out out be the most effective one in exploring and delving into the core topics and interests of my artistic practice - that my more intellectual/rational approach often struggles with.

+=== materials made before 17/11/2023 ===
+[[ Claudio's Draft Project Proposal | PROJECT PROPOSAL]]
-Embracing things - and ways of making them - that I’ve always done, fully unlocking a “make-things-first” approach, trusting the making process and the direction it shows.
+[[Claudio's Thesis Outline | THESIS OUTLINE ]]
-It’s likely to be a tough and challenging project for me as it will mean to let go of structures and ways of working that I am used to and that I feel safe and acknowledging and adopting new ones.
+[[Claudio's PMOMM | PMOMM SESSIONS]]
-Of course I am also interested in situating all of this into a larger context of artistic and theoretical references - which however will come as a consequence rather than a starting point. This could be my thesis (?)
-Workflow (two or three sentences)
-A step by step workflow - being led by making rather than thinking - making one thing leads to making another and so on
-A constant practice of sketching, editing, gathering, observing, in loop
-What form all of this could take? I don’t know.
-A multimedia installation? Some kind of artist’s book?
-Timetable (Sept 23-July 24)
-[…]
-Relation to previous practice (two sentences, draw on Text on Practice)
-All of this has always been present in my work, some (scribbling and sketching) even way before even thinking of being an artist of some sorts, yet it has always been left out because - probably - not enough based on theory.
-Choices made (two sentences)
-Work with an intentionally limited set of “tools” - black and white, short video loops, still images, digital drawings, text, editing softwares.
-Let the making and forms guide my research and not vice versa.
-RAPID PROTOTYPES
-Select existing materials from this practice or produce new ones, upload them on the wiki, catalogue them using at least 3 keywords, write a short description trying to understand what's at stake in them.
