A Fork in the River

Diversionary tactics.

An effort to expand our horizons and pallette, and remove ourselves from our supposed 'comfort zones'.

brief: IMAGE, AUTHENTICITY AND PERFORMANCE

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW (PROJECT WITHIN A PROJECT)

a saying attributed to polymath, 20th century socialite, latter day alchemist Aleister Crowley and a mantra favoured by the occultists whereby the micro and macro cosmos are seen as the same during the alchemical transformation: " that which is above is the same as that which is below"

Bearing this in mind, you are asked to go to the national gallery/ british museum et al, choose a painting, sculpture, objet d'arte etc and add it as if defining a performative artefact of your very own.
You are to take the paiting/artwork you find but you are not to reproduce it in presenting your artefact. You can add to, remove and replace- you are to create an intervention that describes interests carried through your work so so far as well as 'performance, identity and image'.
