Here are the slides for my presentation, outlining where COP3 began for me, as well as where it has ended up at this point in time.

CONCERNS GOING INTO TUTORIAL

I was worried incase I had too many references and links, and that I was trying to shoehorn too many things that interested me into one project. Even though I am trying to be as exploratory as possible, I do worry that some of the connections and links I'm trying to make could seem tenuous or unrelated to one another.

THINGS TO TAKE AWAY

• Museums are no longer at the forefront of my project, infact, I have substituted this area entirely for Polish posters (namely their aesthetic and attitude, and how one feeds the other)

• What is a subversive form of communication? How can communication methods be subverted?

• Is your interest in Polish posters purely aesthetic, or grounded in context?
(My answer: Both! It is more about how this uninhibited attitude towards creativity and embedding artwork with the creator's sense of individualism provides for a more experimental, playful, 'out there' aesthetic)

KEY POINTS / NOTES
• Extreme individualism

• Expression → playful, imagination, experience

• Lo-fi → non-representational, subversive, rebellious

• Focus - subversive forms of visual communication

• Underlying currents of a manifesto here, from the attitudes of the Polish School of Posters as well as numerous artists, movements, visual phenomena that interest me
      ↳ Perhaps I could devise my own creative manifesto, and create work that abides by this ethos

• I want my practical to be process-led. Exploratory, ongoing, with drawing at its core but not necessarily as the only way of creating images
