Grad Student ANNIE PERRY , you have been assigned Ana Mendieta, an influential performance and video artist to research, present, and create artwork as a response to for the VISUAL IMAGES course at Columbia College Chicago.
The following information will help you begin your search:
Title: Project 2: Autobiographical History Presentation
Due: November 28, 2007
Description: You have been assigned an artist based on something you have in common - that is the shared initial of either your first or last (or both) name - perhaps you have even more in common...perhaps not. Finding that out is part of the assignment as well...therin lies the mystery.
Your artist is not living and working. She is dead and is included because she could have been your ocntemporary if fate had dealt a different, kinder hand...alas it did not...or perhaps it did...hmmm...where am I going with this you might ask just about now.
Your task is at least two-fold: you must research your artist - their life and work - and present that research. Each presentation will be in the 15-20 minute range. You must also attempt a connection with your artist and document your attempts. Some of you may be "successful" in that your artist responds to you and you have a conversation, a correspondence, perhaps you are invited to the studio and out to lunch, or dinner, or dare I say - breakfast! Even if you cannot "reach" your artist or eat any meals with them, you might still be a success if the documentation you present is appropriate and resonant with those efforts.
You should use all or any of these materials: texts, slides, drawings, videos, email, performance, song
I am not asking you to stalk this person - these are not celebrities. Use basic courtesy and common sense when approaching your artist.
