Pedestal Project Matthew Glowacki

Non-Monumental Pedestal Project

"Excavation Formula"

Matthew Glowacki

plaster, latex paint

For this project, I worked extremely intuitive. I did nearly all subtractive method with mallet and chisel. I began by casting a plaster 5in. by 5 in. by 5 ft pole. I then carved away, into and through the plaster, much like some worm might have been squirming in the dirt, not thinking just digging. That is where I appropriated the title "Excavation Formula". I found that the resulting product of plain plaster wasn't enough. As an artist I wanted to embellish my project with un-natural like colors to whirl it into a different experience, that of not being a natural look. My goal was to strive for a unique balance between nature and man and that unique relationship.

" Haptic data through Blindness "

Moss, paper, cast bronze, India ink

For this label, I was interested in the communication through touch. Can those who see, un-visually see, how a blind person could have, and have a similar experience in an art museum? This is precisely what I was going after, but also invite many other discussions of how we can invite the blind into our gallery spaces. I was interested in seeing that many of us don't read braille, why don't we learn, does it annoy us that we can't read what a blind person could in an art museum, the message that it sends can get a person to think with their fingertips. I feel that this was successful, because my peers found it to be a interesting topic to discuss.

LTLYM Ice Globe Lanterns : Matthew Glowacki

Ice Globe Lantern Project

Project Assignment created by: Matthew Glowacki

Ice Globe Lantern Project

Directions

Get a latex balloon

Fill it up with water

Tie a knot

Take your water balloon outside and place it in a soft

snow bank, be sure the knot is facing upward towards the sky.

Let the balloon freeze over night.

When the balloon has made a strong ice wall around

the inside of the balloon, pop it and allow the remainder of the water to seep out.

Light a tea candle inside of it at night time

Take a picture of your lantern lit up at night

Be creative, set up a still life around your ice globe lantern before taking the picture.

Post your picture on the blog with your name.

·      You can add food coloring to the water or little bit of paint to change the coloration of the ice.

Richard Tuttle

Masking Tap @ Staples, 2014 

As part of the project I was, like everyone else working to understand the process Tuttle uses to make his sculptural works. The tool I gained most form this was understanding how flat wall paintings can begin to activate their environment in very subtle ways and not just contain a passive existence on the wall.

Plater and Oil And Gesso,  2014 

This was way a series of paintings addressing my own interest of the simplicity of language structure and how it works together to create one of the most complex systems of communication. 

Pedestal One

Wood and Nails and Foam and Acrylic and Paint Objects, 2014 

This was a way of making a sculptural project that both explicitly in the way it was made and by what it was made created a painting. throughout the process I sought to make a sculptor that reflected my paintings and the materials I use to make them while still being a totally formal freestanding sculptor. 

Pedestal Two 

Unmonumental Painting  

Wood and Nails, 2014 

Throughout this project I examined the process of three dimensional viewing of painting, hoping to create a new context for understand painting through the way we view sculptor.

Museum Display: Post-Rachel Wallace

My museum display was of a "Post," which was used as a lighting source to guide workers through the pyramids of these times. Brush and leaves were lit on top of the post which then created the fire.

"Haven"

For this LTLYM project I wanted people to show what they consider to be their "Haven." The instructions to the class was to "Safe Haven- Take or draw a picture of what is a place that you can go and always feel safe." Safety is extremely important to people and is a basic need, this is why I wanted to have people show their different safety nets.

Abstract line drawings in space made with thread and wire that replicate the patterns of existing stains and lines on the wall's surface are similar to the minimalism work of Tuttle.
