Assignment 5 I have never really given much thought to video installations and their difference to cinema. My experience has also varied, in the sense that there were installations which I just could not make sense of, felt uncomfortable: during October 2018 I was in Barcelona and visited the Modern Museum – a video installation […]
24 May 2019 It seems at this stage that we will be following art critique and the critical language of contemporary art, and as my tutor reminded me in the last formative feedback, at the heart of the assignment is the visitor/viewer experience. I will also read Stallabrass, of which I have the Kindle version […]
DISCUSSION: In what ways do video installations differ from films shown in a cinema? List the physical differences and use these as evidence to explain the differences in experience and aesthetic appreciation. Think about the environment as well as the immediate space in which a film is shown. Consider the types of film and select […]

I chose this artwork for my own subjective reasons: I used […]
This part of the studies will be addressed by 6 exercises. The reading and references focus mainly on Deleuze’s work on Difference and it is clear to me that an important outcome will be how to understand Difference with respect to the visual art curriculum. It can easily be misunderstood; I will work to understand […]
My studies is by now challenging me to integrate what I have been learning. After each exercise I had ideas coming and going, which, with the intent to stay concise in my writing, still hung around in my mind and asked for further thought.

My research for exercises in this part of the studies as well as summaries of background reading to understand difficult concepts Deleuze put forward and to integrate it into my understanding of Visual Arts and answering Part 4 of this course. ON READING DIFFERENCE AND REPETITION It is clear that Deleuze wants to account for […]
