Unit3 proposal

In Unit 2 I focused on the various forms of water in an inverse entropy environment as a way of reflecting the changes and effects of inverse entropy on the environment, and explored new ways of creating virtual reality and space with 3d software to complete this project.

Links to Unit 3: The animation of purification I made in Unit2 was inspired by the pollution of modern life, reflecting the increasing and decreasing state of entropy through the level of pollution.

In Unit 3, I will continue to explore the link between entropy and sustainability. Focusing on a type of urban pollution: landscape lighting to reflect the effects of entropy increase and decrease on humans and the environment. At the same time, I seek to continue exploring 3d software in this unit while creating a series of paintings, possibly in conjunction with 3d animation, possibly with fluorescent paint or other mixed media applied to the images.

I will continue to research and observe the lighting of some buildings and street scenes at night, and then refine the concept by referring to relevant articles and books. I will continue to research and observe some architectural lighting, and street scenes at night, and then link to articles and books to refine the concept.

I would like to start this project for the July exhibition by painting acrylic on canvas combined with mixed media.

Name: Weiqi Sun

Pathway: MA Drawing

What do you intend to exhibit?

Please be as specific as you can, for example: how many pieces? What is the size of the proposed work/s?

Use the space provided here for images of your work:

1-2 canvas paintings, 46 x 61cm/40 x50cm

Do you have any other specific requests?

e.g power supply, a corner, floor space, a darkened area? Does the work have the potential to ‘interfere’ with other exhibits (sound etc)?

What are the health and safety considerations?

Risk Assessment information: This is a public show in a professional gallery space so it’s imperative that you inform us of potential issues regarding your proposed work and that everyone completes a Risk Assessment.

Risk assessments cover anticipated potential dangers associated with installing artwork, from time lost through breakages and repairs, to accidents and potential public risk during the exhibition.

Risk assessments forms are available on Moodle to download. Please complete and include with your proposal.

Common risks include potentially hazardous materials, handling objects over 25kg, exceptionally large or long work, installing with ladders, suspended work above head height, sharp edges, trip hazards, exposed moving parts, self-made or repurposed powered electrical components, unbalanced or unsecure objects, the inclusion of water, flammable liquids, airborne chemicals, solvents, any preserved, unrefrigerated or decomposing organic matter: insects, animal or human. If you are unsure, include the details.

If you need to be on-site to install you must also complete a UAL Risk Assessment Form prior to installation and the risk assessment must be signed off by a tutor with all safety issues resolved before installation.

Materials: describe any potential hazardous materials. If in doubt about hazardous materials or processes, see a technician or tutor for advice:

Use the space provided here to list hazardous materials:

No hazardous materials.

Installation methodology: describe here BRIEFLY how you anticipate we will need to install the work and include any specific assistance or method needed e.g. working at height or with large scale work. For example:

2d work: how will the work hang and what tools do we need? Will the work be framed?
3d work: how will the work be installed? What tools do we need? Do you anticipate we will need a ladder?
Projection/monitors/sound: do you need to make plinths, brackets for mounting? Cable covers for power Cables? Test sound levels in an empty space? Explore different projection sizes? Ensure compatibility/availability of hardware or software and technical advice?
Power outlets: If relevant, state the number of power outlets and plugs will you require? Have you had all electrical equipment PAT tested?

Use the space provided here to describe the installation method:

I need to install some nails in the wall to hold the canvas.

Ethical:

If you foresee any ethical issues involved with the work that are not listed in the risk assessment, please state them here:

None
