these look great! unfortunately i couldn't stay for this but its such a good idea, the 3D "life" within a book. If I could have done it.... I think I would have cut images out of the books and propped them up on the page?
I helped make the maps one in which we cut around some countries to make a flap then stuck images which depicted culture in that country. If I had more time and money I would cut out the countries more accurately, use more interesting images and cut more of the map out. It worked quite effectively and could be educational for people who didnt know much about the country. :)
I really enjoyed the idea of making a book into more than it first appears. I wish we could have had more time to work out the practical aspects of ours, as some of it wouldn't stand up and needed tidying up a bit. I liked making something 3D as opposed to just drawing/painting - it was a cool break from the norm :P
Visual Dialogues 2009 is a Tate Galleries project, organised in partnership with Graves Art Gallery and Sheffield Youth Arts Forum, alongside other regional galleries. As part of the project, visual artist Louise Atkinson will be working with participants to develop creative interpretations in order to engage audiences with Modern British works in the Graves collection.
This year, Visual Dialogues will be run in conjunction with The Great British Art Debate. Graves Art Gallery will host the exhibition 'A Picture Of Us' which has been selected from the Tate and Museums Sheffield collections by prominent British artists and local students. These works will facilitate the creation of the interactives and feed into the touring exhibition 'Restless Times' the following year.
I enjoyed making these objcets from books, I liked the idea of bringing a book to life- giving it a new physical purpose other than to be read
