FD Photography Year 2 – Positioning Statement Task
Task: Create a 200 – 300 word statement contextualising an example of your own practice. Most of you have work in the current FD Photography 2nd year exhibition. If you do, then use the work in the exhibition, and if you do not, then choose an example of your work and print it in a suitable format so that it can be seen by a group of people.
Aim: Your aim is develop a language in which to communicate your photographic practice, using one of the critical frameworks we have examined this term.
Process: (1) Work in groups to examine the statements from professional practitioners in small groups. Consider how, given the brevity that artist statements require, these practitioners have communicated the focus of their practice, their aims, methodologies, and achievements. (2) Consider how your own practice is structured. What are you trying to achieve through photographic media, what themes / subjects do you examine, how do you make your work, how do you present your work, and what critical frameworks inform the development of your practice. (3) Once you have considered these areas develop a short presentation describing a particular example of your practice (preferably in the current exhibition). Your focus should lie here in linking your own work to critical frameworks we have examined this year. (4) Write up the analysis of your own work undertaken today, to develop a 200 work statement that contextualises an example of your practice in relation to a critical framework we have examined this year. (5) Post this statement on your blog with relevant imagery.
