studio update wk 9-10

The two week update from wk 9-10 is provided by Margaret Tanjutco and finds humour in the hard work phase of getting the k-film installations into shape. You need to keep your sense of humour when working with Korsakow.

WEEK 9-10 UPDATE:

Weeks 9 and 10 are all about the productivity and fine tuning required to get our final Korsakow projects finished and flabbergasting. It’s a race against time to make sure our presentations and projects are ready to be flaunted to Maroondah Art Gallery curator, Lisa Byrne, for her final bits of feedback before the ultimate submission.

Each group had the opportunity to receive consultations with Seth who kept us on track by offering his thoughts on how to better shape and sharpen our work. He made sure that we continually took into account the real-world implications of our projects – both in scale and in content. Playing with such a unique software and media format, his guidance was much appreciated. We also had the opportunity to work within an “open studio” – a helpful and much needed mode of tute which this type of project benefitted from greatly.

Of course the written assessment tasks were not to be forgotten either, manifesting itself as a reflective diary and project-based summary. The style of writing needed to take full advantage of the latter was also emphasised. We shall definitely not hold back on our hypotheses, fascinations, and criticisms surrounding beloved Korsakow.

We are well on our way to “crunch time” here at Documentary Design and we are so thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase our work at the Maroondah Art Gallery. We’re facing real life with real people and very real budgets. CAN WE DO IT? Of Korsakow we can.
