Archiving Memories LIFT Project
Introduction to archiving:
The Process of Art: Time may continue, come back to me
We began by visiting the LIFT archive in Goldsmiths University, the artist of the LIFT project gave us an experience of archival materials. One piece in particular, the Urban Dream Capsule installation/performance piece took on relevance with providing us with the basis of creating our own using different multi media process.
From the 6th to the 9th of June as a group we have been working with Sue, Eddie and Dan from LIFT (London International Festival Of Theater) creating an installation that explores archives, process and memory. Getting our inspiration from Urban Dream Capsule from LIFT''s Living archive, where a collection of documents and pictures from the first twenty years of LIFT'S history, and for the last three days we have been creating our own archive in the windows of Chestnut Grove main entrance. The work was made quickly and in layers, and includes paintings, drawings, video and performance. To follow in the footsteps of the performers of the Urban Dream Capsule we created a space inside the window where we would call it ours, using a mixture of personal objects.
The function of the glass cases evolved from being visual exhibition space, where a layered document of a collective work in progress and to a space of performance.
Brainstorms of the the definition:
"Producing process art using mixed media"
"Drawing, hanging work inside a window, talking about it."
"Trying to understand the meaning of archiving. using different mediums, rather than the obvious"
"It's a symphony of progressive performance art archiving the artist's journey"
"Getting inside windows"
"Archiving a process"
"Saving art"
"Unknown information"
"We have been archiving experience and learning about process"

BRIEF
Theme: Archiving Memories
Sub- theme: My Summer
Primary Sources:
· Journal
· Photographs
· Five senses: smell, touch, sight, hear, taste
· Observational Drawing
· Articles
· Interview
· Recordings of my summer
Secondary Sources:
· Artists work
· Artist research
· Flyers
· Tickets, cinema tickets, concert tickets,
· Magazines
· Posters
· Audio recordings
Idea and responses:
The responses are the artists that we worked with during the 4 days; we did many different techniques that we would have used in our work. For example, using sound in your work, drama performances, working in conjunction with the paintings and drawings from our archive. As the four days went to on, we experimented with many other mediums and got to understand the meaning of archive more. On the last day, we put on a show for the whole school with each window representing who we are as an individual. For instance, I brought in magazines that I have been collecting since the age of 14, which are my archive, another brought in a guitar plectrum and a dog. As a group, we came up with the idea that each single one of us is an archive within ourselves. The show that we performed through the windows, where that each one of us had to represent their own archive.
Critical and contextual references and influences:
Intended Techniques media, processes and timescale:
· Print making
· Lino Printing
· Photography
· 2D and 3D work
· Binding
· Observational Drawing
· CAD work
· Construction
· Relief
· Collages
· Tie- dye (textile work etc, )
Intended final Outcome:
My intended outcome for this project is a window display and my art book. This would show ‘my archive’ of my summer.
The book would be an archive of all the different techniques that I have done throughout the timescale that we have been given
Proposed methods of review and evaluation:
Brainstorm My Summer Project
My summer project was based on recording your 5 senses within you summer. Touch, Sound, Smell, Sight and Taste. I would record this in all various ways. For example, the smell of food, rub the contents onto a tissue paper, or take the smell of the food and break it down, from its spices which would be stored in a air tight bag.
For touch, the simplest way to record this is by describing the feeling of the material or taking a sample of the material, where its possible. For example, one of my summer days I went to record the sense of touch in Designers Guild , where it a TOUCH heaven, the different arrays of texture, the velvety softness of the striped velvet with a rich and luxurious texture of the swatches, the tough dry bristly feel of the wallpaper. The cottony leathery feel of the upholstered sofas and couches.
As London is a perfect binding of the past and the present, a city with so many places to visit that one couldn't find the time to view them all as for sound London is buzzing with it. This could include, buses, footsteps, trains and tubes pulling up and disembarking, the early morning rushes and the home run mourns. London is filled with the up most sound that you could not take time to listen to all.

Window Installation Of My Summer Project
As the England map developed, I decided that this was going to be background, I had to think of how the activities of my holiday would fit into the map, and realistically I tried to find different ways of how the drawings/pictures would fit into the map. However, this did not suit the window so I expanded on this idea of the different regions that I travelled in. To widen this, I thought of each region as its on individual and picture frames conveyed this well. This meant each picture frame had its own feel and experience.
Starting from the north and moving down to the south to represent each region.
For the background, I created tessellated wallpaper, which represented each activity that I took part in the summer. For example, the bottle represented the 21st birthday, the coach and the train represented the means of travel that I had to take to get to each destination.
The colour scheme for overall look of the window is warm calm colours, which blended in with drapes on the side and the picture frames. The only aspect of the window that had colour was the wallpaper to be prominent and noticeable.
Collected Items in my Summer Box
 |
| The first two pictures represent the first days, where I went to an Interior shop called Designers Guild, which was just the best as so many different types of materials. From soft to Gritty wallpaper and materials. As my intentions was not to purchase anything, the assistants where getting ignored as I just asked for loads of different samples, just to get the feel. |
 |
| The first weekend of the summer, me and my mum decided to treat ourselves to nandos, (which by the way, was just melt in your mouth moment). I especially LOVE the sauce, which you can almost dip with everything, makes every kind of food just mmmm.. |
 |
| Different types of spices that go into making Biryani, which is an Asian dish, but this altered to Swahili, it contains:
Garam Masala (The spices in a Garam Masala differs according to region and personal taste. The common ingredients are black peppercorns, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, whole cloves, green cardamom seeds, black/brown cardamom seeds, dried bay leaves and cinnamon sticks. Garam Masala is pungent but not hot as chilli peppers.)
Cloves (It is a unique looking ingredient, which is dark brown or black, and has a characteristic smell as well, a strong flavour.
Cloves are the immature unopened flower buds of a tropical tree. When fresh, they are pink, dried, they turn to a rust-brown colour. Measuring 12-16 mm (1/2”-5/8”) long, they resemble small nails, with a tapered stem. The large end of the clove is the four-pointed flower bud.
Bouquet: Warm, pungent and aromatic
Flavour: Sweetly pungent, astringent and strongly aromatic.
Black pepper cones, Cinnamon sticks, white cardamon, Turmeric and ground chilli
White Cardamoms seeds
Sweet, flavour cool it has a delicate citrus and floral scent with a refreshing eucalyptus note smell burnt rubber. It is a very pungent odour, with a strong camphor smell. Cardamom has a unique flavour and scent. It is heavy like black pepper, yet sweet like cinnamon or nutmeg, and has an almost camphor like effect on the nose.
Cinnamon Stick
A good strong scent, but not over powering. Very appealing. This scent is great all year, extra pleasing during fall and winter months, has a warming effect.
Black Pepper corns
Strong, sharp, spicy, the scent of freshly ground pepper rushes up the nose, producing a moment of near-intoxication, while my eyes watered. Its essential oil is an ingredient of several “warm” perfumes, among them the provocative Comme Des Garcons, where black pepper is a clearly recognizable top note.
Turmeric
Turmeric has a musky aroma; the flavour is intense, warm and spicy but sweetly pleasant

| Am suprised as I did not shop as much as I expected, as summer was coming to an end I only hit the shops |
 |
| Northampton: Smell- old industrial place, all the food being brought in by different people of the family, the smell of the biryani in the car that my mum made, in conjunction with the different types of perfume that mum, my sister and I had.
Mum- Beautiful Love by Estee Lauder - A passionate, romantic daytime scent with creamy notes of white freesia, magnolia, wet ivy leaves, tuberose, jasmine, rose, Tonka bean, whipped cream accord and heliotrope.
I- Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker Eau De - Parfum Notes of silky white amber with exotic patchouli oil and crisp apple martini are combined to make a fragrance that is sophisticated, romantic and just a little bit flirty. Top Notes: lavender, bergamot, mandarin Heart Notes: Apple Martini, rosewood, Orchid Base Notes: Patchouli, Musk, Cedar, Amber
Sister- Tommy Girl a bouquet of green fresh floral fragrance. It was inspired by wild flowers indigenous to the USA including desert jasmine, Dakota lily and Cherokee rose. Tope Notes: mandarin, tangerine, spearmint, blackcurrant buds, dewberry, peach, marigold; Heart Notes: apple blossom, honeysuckle, violet, Dakota lily, Cherokee rose, freesia; Base Notes: cedar, sandalwood, musk, amber. Containing the combination of several flowers in a scent.
Tommy Girl is a declaration of independence. Refreshing, energetic and spirited, Tommy Girl is inspired by wildflowers gathered from the American landscape.
The effervescent floral scent combines clarity with energy, freshness with spirit, and floral notes with a fresh sexiness.
Tommy girl is REFRESHING - distilled from the freshness of camellia flowers, bright floral notes of apple blossoms and crisp black currant flowers.
Tommy girl is ENERGETIC - a burst of tangy citrus accords of mandarin and tangerine, blending with a crisp leafy green notes and flash of spearmint.
Tommy girl is SPIRITED - a vibrant bouquet of intoxicating honeysuckle and cool butterfly violets entwined with desert jasmine, Dakota lily, the fresh sensuality of Cherokee rose and the surprising tingle of magnolia petals - all wrapped with sexy notes of cedar and sandalwood and the airy freshness of wild heather.

| As London College of Fashion where holding an open day for Prospective students, I decided as I wa still in the first stages of the summer. The open day was very insighful as you get to meet and greet students and lectures. |
 |
| One of my many tickets. From birmingham, conventry etc. |
 |
| Birmingham: Have to keep myself busy, seeing what new trends are out for the W/A collection 2011 |
 |
| I must say this on my second most memorable birthday, also that the birthday girl did not know she was having a surprise birthday, as she celebrated it in Kenya. Anyhow, as she was coming home from University because she had not celebrated her birthday with her family. That is what she thought she was coming to do. As she walked through the door, she was greeted by overwhelm,laughter and a plague of family and friends. The party did not end until 4am, as most people where Inebriated |
 |
| Birmingham: Most of the time while I was there, I used to pull out my oyster, I dont know why, but maybe it was just my automatic reaction to take out my oyster. which was quite funny at first, so I had to get used to the paper tickets. I was always amused by the fact that my cousins have to pay £1.80! for each way, as in London people would have a fit! but that's what we call inflation. |
 |
| Nandos again!, but this time I decided I would 'borrow' the desert menu as it was different as most restaurants are boring, but I found that this was very creative. |

LIFT Project & Artist's Analysis
Dan Scott- Sound Engineer, he has been working with the children to create sounds capes of their school environments, record interviews, and make unusual sounds using everyday objects. Dan completed an MA in Sound Arts at the London College of Communication and has taken his recording equipment all over Europe for performances, exhibitions, concerts and residences. He has lead several workshops and is a tutor on listening and aurality at Central School of Speech and Drama.
Edward George- Edward is a visual and sound artist, writer, director and producer. He co-founded the multi-media arts group Flow Motion with Anna Piva in 1996 and their sound art performances have taken place at the Lilian Baylis Theatre, and the Science Museum Dana Centre in London as well as other international destinations. Edward was Artistic Associate for the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in 2010 and is currently working on a collaborative on-line archival project exploring the theme of the Promised Land.
As you begin to here the sounds in the beginning its almost as it you are watching a scary film, knowing that something might jump out the screen it matches the name of Darker matter. Its as if someone is creeping behind you with footsteps. That feeling when your left in the house and the tap is running and you expect someone to be behind you. The ending is not as great as the beginning it just ends smoothly with the sounds fadding.
Working with these artists was useful as it was good to get out of the learning environment and explore more opportunities that can be done with art. For example, Dan helped us to convey sound through the windows, using T.V’s and CCTV. Sue helped us with the performance side of it, of how we would convey ‘our’ archives. The artist also taught as valuable lesson to teach, for example, Eddie who was more rounded and was experienced in both fields, working with sound and performances. His work now, linked in with ours as he was archiving a project called promised lands that related to the Bible references.

Founded in London in 1996, Flow Motion are multi media artists and musicians Anna Piva and Edward George.
Flow Motion's installations, audio art, performance presentations and web based projects have been exhibited and performed internationally - at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, the Pompidou Centre, the International Institute for Visual Arts, the Science Museum Dana Centre, the Steirischer Herbst Arts Festival in Austria and Star City's historic Cosmonaut's Club in Russia.
In
October 2001 Edward George and Anna Piva were given the unique opportunity to
explore sensory and physical spaces in weightlessness when invited to
participate in the Arts Catalyst’s ‘microgravity interdisciplinary research’
(M.I.R) project realised on a parabolic flight departing from the Gagarin
Cosmonaut Training Centre, Star City in Russia. The project with which they
applied was ‘Kosmos in Blue’, named after a composition by Sun Ra.
For George, the experience proved thrilling, yet strangely familiar. He explains how in a dream the act of flying is tied into a structured narrative that “provides the gravitational ballast” and thus makes it seem less terrifying. In zero gravity, however, the floating is ‘uncontrolled’ and the environment unknown. To George it felt like “being less like Clark Kent and more like Homer Simpson because everything that you knew about the world was suddenly wrong; it is like being a child again.”
Piva likens the experience of floating in zero gravity to a foetus suspended in the womb, while simultaneously she was strongly aware of the world of science and technology existing parallel to this protected state. Tai Chi and meditation had mentally prepared her for the quick alterations between zero gravity and double gravity characteristic to parabolic flight: “In Tai Chi you create a physical space in which gravity and anti-gravity are working; you are close to the ground but have the impression of floating.”
In hindsight, Piva admits that the parabolic flight does not seem like a viable way for experiencing and finally understanding the cosmos: “I was happy to return to music as a way to expansion.” George adds that “if you spend enough time in sonic space, you feel as though you have been in zero gravity before.” He makes reference to a lineage of musicians, like Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane, Underground Resistance and Rhythm & Sound, who created a sense of Space with their music.
Piva made recordings during the parabolic flight. Sound was an important component of the flight itself, the alteration between zero gravity and double gravity giving it a sense of time. “You heard the sound of the plane, not of space itself,” Piva explains. It was the sound of humans in a machine labouring to achieve moments of weightlessness. The plane was crowded and the sound of people and engines loud and overpowering.
For Piva a big part of the musical process “involves listening to machines, not so much composing, but editing data and then allowing the machine to transform the data.” They are both composers and receptors of something that is being composed live in front of them.
George describes their work as ‘process based’: “we shape sounds, we mould spaces into sounds and make sound pictures.” He adds that the experience of floating in zero gravity has enabled them to erode and dissolve the boundary separating inside from outside in their music: “Once you have got the anchor of the gravitational pull away from you, it feels as though you are neither inside nor outside of something, but curiously a bit of both.”
