Week 8 Studio: Bench time — provenance groundwork

A second open bench-time studio, starting the research and materials gathering the final project's provenance file will need.

16 September 2027

Before the session

Come with a working idea for the final project’s subject — the object, style or artefact “Provenance” will be built around.

In the session

Open bench time again, but aimed forward this time: rather than continuing Assignment 1 work, the studio is for starting the research a convincing provenance file needs — real gallery catalogues, real auction records, real period documents to model the forged ones on. Anselm and the tutorial group are available for direction, not demonstration, this week.

Afterwards

Nothing due yet, but a final project started this week has noticeably more room to develop than one started in week 11.

The spec

What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
