Collecting and Archiving as Creative Process

Assignment 1: Compile 15 images that together form a collection. Load the images on to the blog.
Provide a critique of each collection. Title your collection in the title field and make sure you add your byline (your name). For example: Wildlife Eating Orange Foods by Onetwo Three

Key questions to address in crits:
1. How cohesive is the collection?
2. Unity: How is the collection unified? Composition, subject matter, concept, etc.
3. Variety: Too much or not enough?

"The Art Critic" by Raoul Hausmann 1919/20


"Holding a Venus pencil in his right hand, a heeled shoe glued to his brain, his eyes and mouth hidden by superimposed features and with a sharp segment of a 50 deutschmark bank note embedded in his neck, Hausmann's view of this art critic is both critical and controversial.  Through whose eyes does he really see? Whose words does he really speak? And whose payroll is he on?
Hausmann used cut-up photographs and pages from newspapers and magazines to construct his world of cynical imagery." The Art Book by Phaidon
