Artist Talks with Art Slide Show - Same as
Artist talk plus artists bring a cd of their artwork and a slideshow of
their art plays as they talk about their work.
Artist Statements - Artist usually write an
artist statement about who they are and their work. This statement could be
video taped.
Art Provenance -
Artists talk about each work of their art pieces. Where the idea for the
piece came from, how it developed, etc.
Mini Documentary of the Artists - Short
documentaries about the artist. An example are the stories we did in the
Inspiration and
the Art of Living Black video project. We created short documentaries
about the artists and their inspirations. For example see:
Open Studios Video Art Tour - Go to the Open
Studios, video tape the artist talking about their work and giving a tour of
their studio. The art tour would be viewable year round.
Promotional Video for Fund Raising - an
interest of Margo/Pro Arts.. A way to approach this would be to video tape the
various events at Pro Arts on an ongoing basis. The various short videos
could be placed on Youtube and be viewed immediately. Eventually enough
video would be collected that could be edited into an overall promotional
piece. A script for the overall piece would need to be created.
Individual Exhibits and Events - Open Studios
and Arts Commissions have
many events. They could all be video taped and documented online. This
material could be used for a promotional piece. The individual video clips
could be place on YouTube immediately.
The Curators Tour - The curator (Erica at Pro
Arts) was
very articulate and informative about the exhibit. She gave us a short tour.
She would give an excellent video tour. Video tape her talking about each of
the exhibits after they are installed.
Staff Introductions - Tape the staff
introducing themselves.
Artist talk about taking part in Open Studio - Feedback from
artists about taking part in Open Studios. Good for artists thinking of
taking part. (we asked this for the Inspiration and TAOLB project as a warm
up question - see
Oral Histories - Ortrun from ProArts was interested in oral
histories for community building.
Art Auction Tour - ArtSpan has an auction
every year
ArtSpan Benefit Art Show and Auction. We
could video tape the artists holding up their art work to be auctioned and
have them talk about it. Place it on Youtube and it would be a previewing
over the internet. I had video taped the actual auction event: see
