presentations
Hey, does anyone have an outline or gotten clarification on what or how to present your visual culture work at the rez?? I feel like everyone was vague last time. Help!
Hi everyone, It sounds like the presentation should be a 10-12 minute summary of what we read, our specific interests and what we ended up understanding. Handouts were suggested, perhaps images if you looked at artwork related to the papers. I might make copies of my bibliography and briefly talk about why my FA and I chose the texts we did. I'll include a handout of photos from an exhibition I wrote about and talk about that too... Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water.
My FA said pretty much the same thing: 15-20 presentation, well prepared and clearly structured summary of our research and writing. He also recommended a practise delivery in front of friends and family. Every presentation I saw last residency included at least one hand out of the bibliography.
It would be good to hear about the topic of your research paper, what you read (the good, the bad, and the ugly) or viewed, what your questions were/are, what you learned, what was helpful to you in your study, how you deal with writing and organizing a paper, what mistakes you made, what were the strong points of your study and how/if it fed your visual projects at all. You can also show images if you want to discuss artists you studied. Usually we only have a slide projector in the room but we can also do the laptop huddle if need be. Bring your laptop if your presentation is on it. keep in mind that most/all of us may be quite ignorant about your research topic, and we want to be fired up, entertained, and learn something. this is a good chance to practice your public presentation skills in a supportive and forgiving, but critical environment. Try not to be boring--you all have interesting topics to talk about.
Like Sumru, I'm going to give a handout of my bibliography. I made a power point of images that relate to what I studied. I'm not going to talk about shows I saw, though, because those didn't relate as much to my Visual Culture project.

ReplyDeleteAn outline by Faith Wilding:
ReplyDeleteIt would be good to hear about the topic of your research paper,
what you read (the good, the bad, and the ugly) or viewed,
what your questions were/are, what you learned,
what was helpful to you in your study,
how you deal with writing and organizing a paper,
what mistakes you made,
what were the strong points of your study and how/if it fed your visual projects at all.
You can also show images if you want to discuss artists you studied. Usually we only have a slide projector in the room but we can also do the laptop huddle if need be. Bring your laptop if your presentation is on it.
