BUY OBJECTS

As suggested by Marsha, create a series

Leave syrup covered objects in places and record the changes when in these unknown environments.

Dieter Roth – fruit market

Dieter Roth – Swiss German artist who’s made paintings with UNORTHADOX materials such as yoghurt and cheese. ‘In 1970, he exhibited 37 suitcases packed with Swiss cheese in Los Angeles. When the cheese started to stink, the gallery had to be closed.’

Made a series of work in shelving units that contained plastic wallets of his rubbish waste such as food wrappers, toilet paper and fruit peel. this was collected and stored in the shelving in the format of a series.

Documentary of his work being important ‘He writes and draws in his studio. He reads in bed. He sleeps, he showers. We even see him on the loo. Again, the commitment to documentary truth is total.’

Foreign material – the effects of time

Coating ‘everyday’ objects in syrup and observing the transformation that occurs when they are left in a space for a period of time.

Does foreign material become attached

Use them like normal objects, ignoring the fact they are covered in a tactile material

Syrup out of its container

Material which has become detached after a period of time

Time and materials

How the natural process of time transforms objects and materials depending on there environment.

Similar to the milk and beetroot on large canvas, the smell on the milk will appear over time of it not being kept at a certain temperature/used within a certain date. How does time have an affect on the viewers vision of the material?

Using golden syrup

Coating a section of canvas material in golden syrup and leaving it out in a public space of a period of time. Will foreign materials attach to it? Will its form change? Will it mould?

Rebecca Horn at the Tate

How Horn uses movement within her work.

How does touch, physicality, process, time and moment affect the results of her performances?

Relate the way she uses movement back to how I could use movement in my work.

Milk and beetroot

Compared to the beetroot alone decaying, how does adding milk effect the canvas over a period of time? Will it encourage the beetroot to change and rot at more of a pace? Will it create a more sensory experience for the viewer with smell?

Instead of focusing on the transformation from an ordinary, basic material (consumable milk) to something repulsive – milk is already not so much appealing to myself, the smell making me feel sick.

Looking into my own reaction to the transformation of the milk and how it changes.
