Sustainable Mobility.......What can this mean to me?

After much confusion from the project the title, I developed a response to the project that could be considered slightly different to others. I believe our course allows us to look differently at project and respond in a different way. Therefore I have interpruted the brief very loosely, I havent seen it as a fixed 3d outcome that reflects the projects title "Sustainable Mobility" in an obvious way.

Project Statement:
Collecting and accumulating a range of objects from various means, to create a piece that pokes fun at the innocent and impractical. Whilst documenting the history of the objects and the journey they are going to make.

Aim: To create an impractical, fun, innocent, playful piece to represent the title of this brief. Reflecting back at my statement and gathering a body of research, I then started considering how this project could play upon the impractical, fun, mocking elements.

So I then moved onto looking at the mobility of objects, how they can change in meaning or how I could change their meaning. The outcome I am hoping for is a performance piece that reflects my own personal journey in this module and looks at the migration of emotions and how material objects can change. And in this performance piece I plan to use myself and my own attachment to the objects. At the moment I am considering the possibilities of a book, dvd or/and a collection.

Influences for this project: Jake and Dinos Chapman, Brothers Quay, Alan Carroll, Yoko Ono

Exhibition view 2007 - Alicia Talikwoska: Re-toyed trash

Art and Design (Interdisciplinary) student Alicia Talikwoska ran a series of workshops in 2007 inviting members of the public to create sculptures using discarded toys. Her approach invloved both 'Making' (manipulating 3D materials) and 'making things happen' (facilitating and project managing workshops and public interventions...

Donna Walker created a range called re-design ( including this ironing board chair). She was influenced by Droog following her GIDE exchange to Breda.
