Supervisory Meeting - 28/03/2012 @ MMU

Present at Meeting - Simon Faulkner / David Brittain / Gavin Parry

The meeting discussed my practical photographic portraiture as seen in previous posts:

• It was noted that Hardman's technical language had been observed during the making of some of these portraits.


• The meeting also addressed the issue of the difference between the 'Now' and 'Then' of when Hardman's portraits had been taken : differences within the purpose of the two archives were also discussed [Commercial v's Research]


• Do these two differences need to be taken into account ?


• Advice was offered to continue with current photographic work engaged with and to provide further examples for the forthcoming meeting scheduled for early May 2012.


• Advice was also offered to begin writing short texts to accompany the practice. These should attempt to try and explain and discuss the practice element of the project.


• One piece of text should be provided for the next meeting.


• The three separate stands of research should continue simultaneously:

1. Working within the archive using photography to document the archival process.

2. My own photographic portraiture.

3. Accompanying written work informed by historical and theoretical readings.
