30 Minutes Assignment Guidelines
Complete Two 30 Minute Exercises.
#1
Inside the Art Building (Interior)
#2
Outside, Landscape (Exterior)
#1
Inside the Art Building (Interior)
- Create an installation inside art building. Exception - Photo studios (room for photographing and where equipment is kept) are off limits.
- Take no more than 30 minutes to do the actual installation.
- You may take as much time as needed to research and prepare for the installation.
- You cannot paint or mark on any wall for this installation. The installation needs to be easily removed and leave no marks behind. Should be no trace that it was there other than nail or tack holes (that you will have to patch - materials in the wood shop).
- Be prepared to remove the installation immediately or shortly after you present to the class.
- You must make sure the installation in no way poses harm to anyone, does not block doors and takes into account handicap access in the building. If unsure about safety, see me and I can help you resolve.
- See me if you are interested in using the elevator. A small, gentle, non-imposing installation may be able to happen in this space.
- See me if there is a space you wish to use but are not sure how to access.
- What to put on your blog:
- Professional Images
- Title
- Artist Statement
#2
Outside, Landscape (Exterior)
- Create an artwork outside in the landscape.
- Take no more than 30 minutes to install the piece.
- You may take as much time as needed to research and prepare. Or you may be totally spontaneous - show up to a site and make something happen with only the materials/items/nature that is there.
- You cannot damage or harm the area. The art work needs to be easily removed and leave no marks behind. Should be no trace that it was there.
- Note - your body can be used as a material.
- If you choose to leave the piece at the site, it must not pose harm to anyone and will easily be taken care of by nature. For instance, leaves, sticks, etc..
- Document with photos. At least three photos.
- Take a video to document if piece contains movement and/or sound. Include still photos along with video.
- What to put on your blog:
- Professional Images
- Title AND the location (can be specific or use city/state)
- Artist Statement

Michel Francois, b. 1956, Belgium
François is creating spaces of reflection or of self-awareness, by showing normal human occurrences as well as recognisable processes and objects. Yet at the same time he reverses things, or rather, turns them inside out. Some inversions are formal such as convex and concave, empty and full, light and dark. But others speak more to social structures such as freedom and imprisonment, riches and poverty, work and leisure, survival and play. The standard measure of all his works is based on essential questions about man: what he experiences in the world, how he senses the world and how these sensations are related to his way of thinking and perceiving.

Barbara Kruger, b. 1945, American
Hirshhorn Museum, Washington D.C.
The entire space—walls, floor, escalator sides—is wrapped in text-printed vinyl, immersing visitors in a spectacular hall of voices, where words either crafted by the artist or borrowed from the popular lexicon address conflicting perceptions of democracy, power, and belief. hirshhorn.si.edu
Kruger creates installations of her work in galleries, museums, municipal buildings, train stations, and parks, as well as on buses and billboards around the world. Walls, floors, and ceilings are covered with images and texts, which engulf and even assault the viewer. arthistoryarchive.com
