Note of today’s contextual lecture taught by Tessa Peters.
Eastern culture references in western world:
-For instance British Pavilion: Fabricating view of eastern influences/culture/aesthetics, westerners create narrative in the original reference that only upholds western perspective
Brenda Lee Satish Tang:
-Post modern parody: way of rereading the past/history
-Blue and white ceramics: Signifiers for history and culture
Paul Scott:
-Gorilla tactic: bringing humanitarian crisis to everyday life
Caroline Slotte:
-poetry of everyday life: manufactured ceramics often has paradoxical imagery
-narrative of the stacks are usually in open interpretation
Post lecture discussion:
-Emma question: Being so widely used as medium supporting new narrative already, Is there still space to appropriate blue and white ceramics?
-Tessa’s answer: as such a strong language, it is still possible but depending on the quality of the narrative/context, for instance mass produced for trade fairs
-My question: Where’s the line between artistic influences and copying/plagiarism?
-Tessa’s answers: Post-modernism has blurred the line in between, but copying/plagiarism is about exact copy of existing work and claiming it’s original, whist artistic influences is more about quoting/referencing existing works with your own personal input and changes
-(In another way is how respectful you are to references?)
Building your own artistic ownership in worries of plagiarising others work:
-being mindful of similar existing works
-synthesising your idea and other’s
-reproducing yours with imaginations
-be honest and professional by citing references
Originality:
-Ceramics has always informed themselves from different parts of world
-Art school systems/culture around the world: Originality vs copying masters
