today have started the Karkhana project with Emily and MArcy.
This is working from a book called Karkhana - a contemporary collaboration edited by Hammad Nasar.
Basically its a collaboration of artwork between 6 artists, all doing miniture painting around a specific tradition, which the artists have learned at the school of fine arts in Lahore, Pakistan.
What I find interesting is the technique they use, through passing on works to another artist, they are giving up their ownership and allowing someone else to take over.
So far Emily and Marcy and I have swaped one work each to then explore and develop.
here are some of the interesting things I have noticed so far....
I think its easier to make the first image as it is very open and can be left half finished or finished.
Once I have someone elses work, I find it harder because i am afraid of ruining someone else's work.
it is also interesting to note that the decisions get harder once you are dealing with someone else's work as the decisions are harder as you need to make choices to go with the work already established.
over and out
