Assignment #1

Manipulating Objects: Creative Reuse

Assignment #1

The following are meant to serve as inspiration but feel free to come up with your own project.

  1. Take an object you are interested in, dismantle it and reconstruct it in another manner. You can add other objects to it, build an armature of a different scale and shape as the original object, and adhere the parts to it. Think about why you have chosen this object and how reconstructing it might give it new meaning.


  1. Pick an artwork you are interested in and make a work to be in conversation with that piece. It might be a contemporary take on a sculpture from antiquity or a remake of a contemporary sculpture you find interesting or otherwise. Think about why you are interested in this work and what your piece might add to contemporary artistic dialogue in relation to the original work.

  1. Combine photographic imagery within or on a three dimensional form. This could be in the form of collage or it could even be a projection onto an object. Think about the work of Rachel Harrison, Will Rogan, and Christian Marclay.

Use one or more of the following techniques:

Cardboard construction, drilling, sewing, sandblasting, gluing
