Supervisory Meeting - 26/03/2014 @MMU

Present at Meeting: Simon Faulkner / David Brittain

The meeting informally discussed progression of the practice based component of the project, whilst the RD2 re-submission feedback from the scrutineers was still being progressed.

Arrangements have been made to access the Hardman Archive during the Easter break on Thursday 10th & 17th April 2014.  Discussions were therefore centred upon the creative developments of the project and the best uses of this time spent in the archive.  Progression of the following creative strategies were discussed:



1.       Typology – The classification of different types, as defined by the database will provide a source of narrative through which to view the existing portraits.
2.       Chronotype – The database provides a method through which to extract the portraits of an individual taken over an extended timeframe.
3.       Re-Photography – The existing location based portraits offer a physical environment within which to explore photographically.
4.       Coding – The specific codes used within the registers (such as ‘DNL’ or ‘Gratis’) offer a means through which to view and use the archive in ways never intended.
5.       Replacement – The chronological gaps within the archive (presented through prior extraction or image decomposition) present an opportunity for creative engagement, using surnames from the registers.
