I've finally decided to merge my two blogs into one. Now that I have a functioning <a href="http://www.laurenfrancesmoore.com/">portfolio website</a>, this blog's function/purpose has somewhat shifted... so I've moved everything from "lauren moore making things" over to "on art etc." (my other art-related blog) and will continue my blogging on a regular basis from that URL. Please follow <a href="htp://www.onartetc.blogspot.com"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">on art etc.</span></a> to stay in the loop!!<br />

I've been serving as a research assistant ("Special Projects Associate" to be specific) to the Halsey's director and curator Mark Sloan for a book proposal/traveling exhibition that's in the works. The project involves the work of Mr. Don ZanFagna, a multi-talented man in his 80's currently living in Mt. Pleasant, SC.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">As part of my research, I've been reading up on "Organic Architecture." I've read cover to cover <a href="http://www.arquitecturaorganica.com/inicio_i.html">Javier Senosiain</a>'s <i>Bio-Architecture</i>, as well as heavily skimmed several others on the subject, and I've come across some ideas and quotes that are particularly relevant in my personal studio work</span> (which shares some aesthetic & conceptual qualities with ZanFagna's). I can't seem to get the following quote, by Frank Lloyd Wright, out of my head. It's taking me somewhere I have been headed for some time... </div><blockquote><i>Every house is a mechanical forgery of the human body... the whole inside is a sort of stomach that attempts to digest objects, objets d'art perhaps, but objects nonetheless. Here is where the feigned affliction installs itself, always hungry for more objects or plethoric because of excess. It seems like the whole life of the common house is a form of indigestion, an unhealthy body that suffers slight illnesses, that demands constant repairs and remedies to survive. It is a marvel that we, its occupants, are not driven crazy in it and with it; perhaps it is a sort of insanity we have put into it.</i></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwJh9qULtSjTbnhGoGXr7v3VrYd_qPB4yd_JulYAeWyF6oXuLb5yDaOw30Yjp_2VrNlWUMLHV5NZz7BtNfKRb6n34ci7enMJSXeI2IK9OwdEm9mCWb7ZrNTSuoBa8zxFNayDGrRdjGlak-/s1600/pinkpile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwJh9qULtSjTbnhGoGXr7v3VrYd_qPB4yd_JulYAeWyF6oXuLb5yDaOw30Yjp_2VrNlWUMLHV5NZz7BtNfKRb6n34ci7enMJSXeI2IK9OwdEm9mCWb7ZrNTSuoBa8zxFNayDGrRdjGlak-/s400/pinkpile.jpg" width="298" /></a></div> I'm thinking a lot about that quote and how Wright's ideas fit into my body of work/area of interest. I'm excited about the possibilities. Oh yea, and I pulled out some materials today. I've been sitting on my hands for the past few weeks, but I think it's time to start playing around - to see some ideas come to life. The above image is the result of today's toilings.

I drove to Atlanta and back to pick up my mom who graciously drove the 16 ft rental truck crammed with my belongings (who knew one 22 yr old could have so much stuff?!) all the way to Maryland. <a href="http://www.stephenwevans.com/">Steve</a> was my slave for a few days... he packed and shoved and lifted without complaint, stopping only to go to the City Gallery to de-install my portion of the Contemporary Charleston exhibition - while I was at work, hosting a 3 yr old's ballerina birthday party on the day before the big move. We went far too many days on much too little sleep, but thankfully are still here to talk about it.<br />
<br />
Taking things out of boxes has proven to be much less stressful (except for the few hours that I couldn't find the coffee grinder). I quickly filled my 2nd floor <a href="http://www.silverspringdowntown.com/">Silver Spring</a> apartment with room to spare - it's much more spacious than my Race Street abode. After helping unload the rest of my belongings into my (also spacious) UMD studio, Steve headed home to Philadelphia, and after 2 days spent in the North Virginia Mountains at my Uncle Keith's, my mom and I met him there. Our parents met and Steve gave yet another magnificent tour of the city (if you're ever there, call him up!) Mom caught a plane south-bound and I hung around with the Evans' only to sleep through the next 2 afternoons - finally catching up on all the running around and lack of sleep of the previous week.<br />
<br />
This week has been spent slowly... getting my apartment set up, little by little. I'm just now starting to learn my way around this place- this place is huge, especially compared to itty bitty Charleston, which has made for lots of wrong turns and missed exits. Yesterday I found my way to the University of Maryland campus again and organized my things in a way that makes me feel much more at home in my studio. I briefly met 2 of the new grad students, <a href="http://www.laurenshealittle.com/">Lauren</a> and <a href="http://jason-hughes.net/home.html">Jason</a>, who were also getting settled into their new spaces.<br />
<br />
Below are 2 shots of my studio so far... much more talk is in store. I want to elaborate on my program, professors, my assistant-ship, etc. But until then...<br />

Charleston has been VERY good to me for the past 4 years and has provided me with a number of fantastic opportunities that very likely would not have been possible elsewhere. Its small, youthful, and encouraging arts community has made it a great city in which to come of age, to discover a calling, and to grow as an aspiring artist. In just three weeks I will be relocating to the DC area to attend graduate school at the University of Maryland, College Park, but before I say goodbye to this lovely city, I'd like to recognize some of the artists and arts organizations that have been most influential to my development while I've been here. <br />

I've attached it to my portfolio site (<a href="http://laurenfrancesmoore.com/">laurenfrancesmoore.com</a>) and can now learn all kinds of things about the people who visit my site. It tells me how many visitors I have each day, where they're from, how many pages they view, how long they stay on my site, how they got to my site, and so so much more. It's a remarkable tool, though I feel slightly narcissistic when I dwell on these details for too long.<br />

I found it particularly interesting that several people have found my website through various tumblr accounts. After doing some digging, I discovered that this image (seen below) of the large steel sculpture I made last year at <a href="http://www.franconia.org/">Franconia Sculpture Park</a>, has made the rounds on tumblr. I'm not too familiar with tumblr and all of its ways, but the fact that this image of my sculpture has <a href="http://tumbleword.tumblr.com/post/6383100534/lauren-frances-moore-vessel2010fabricated">90 "notes"</a> seems pretty cool.<br />

There was an incredible turnout and I am so honored to be grouped with such a talented bunch of artists! I will post more on the opening and the other artists soon, but for now... I'll show you what I made.<br />
<br />
These photos were taken before the opening, and before all the vinyl went up. That big open space to the right of the installation now is filled with my name in large print and <a href="http://www.charlestonmag.com/charleston_magazine/feature/lauren_frances_moore">my profile from Charleston Magazine. </a>Stay tuned for more photos!<br />

It is the product of much deliberation, as drawing is not an active part of my creative process. Rather than draw something from observation, I wanted to make a piece that could potentially fit into my wider body of work. I went for a more process-based approach, which I won't even attempt to fully explain. I'll just say that it involved a number of steps, including reading aloud three definitions of "drawing" with a drawing utensil attached to my chin...<br />

In just one week from today I will begin installing at Charleston's <a href="http://citygalleryatwaterfrontpark.com/">City Gallery at Waterfront Park</a>! I am one of 8 emerging artists that have been selected for the annual Contemporary Charleston exhibition. We've had to keep our lips zipped for the past few months in keeping with the show's theme, "Under the Radar," but the May issue of Charleston Magazine was released just last week with profiles of each artist, so now we can tell the world! Click <a href="http://www.charlestonmag.com/undertheradar">HERE</a> to see the online version of the magazine article.<br />
<br />

The blog includes poetry, pictures, definitions, philosophy, and musings of all kind. I recommend checking it out!<br />

Here's what I had to day about my time at the park...<br />
<br />
“Last June, completely unaware of what was in store, I packed up my Jeep and headed up to the odd place we all know and love, Franconia Sculpture Park. An “Intern Artist Fellowship” seemed like a great way to spend a summer. I thought, “why not?” I was intrigued by the expanse of the place and was invigorated by the thought that I would finally get the chance to make a sculpture without the bounds of pesky doorways and stairwells often encountered in traditional art-viewing institutions.<br />
<br />
Upon prepping for my stay, I emailed John Hock with some questions concerning my plans for a very large and very likely overly-ambitious project and his response was this… “We have space. Ambition is good.” And I came to realize, soon after arriving, that this is a widespread theme at Franconia, an anthem of sorts, attesting to the “anything is possible” kind of optimism that is ever-present at the park.So yea, I made a really huge sculpture… but what else is new?<br />
<br />
What’s great about Franconia is that I wasn’t the only one doing big things. At Franconia, I was surrounded (and I mean SURROUNDED) by talent and ambition that I had never before experienced. It was the first time I ever spent a length of time with REAL artists, at various stages of their careers, and I learned a great deal about what a future as an artist (particularly a sculptor) might entail. I picked brains for advice and learned much about opportunities that I never knew existed.<br />
<br />
The Franconia family (network) is never-ending it seems. It really is a small, small world we sculptors live in. The contacts I made last summer (in addition to the sculpture I made) have proven to be quite valuable in my minimal professional development thus far. Exhibitions, grants, magazine articles, and grad school offers have all followed my summer spent at FSP. Every young sculptor ought to spend some time in a place like Franconia. It should be a requirement.”<br />

Last week J<a href="http://www.jarodcharzewski.com/">arod</a> and I submitted a few proposals through <a href="http://www.callforentry.org/">CaFE</a>, a site that hosts calls for submissions and applications for a wide range of artistic projects. The above image is of our aluminum "tool" that we cast ourselves in our foundry at the College of Charleston. This will be given to our plastic fabricators as a mold for the plastic bubbles (seen below). Jarod used his photoshopping genius to fix up the aluminum surface. We will work through the summer to get it to actually look like this, repairing holes and cracks with Devcon Aluminim Putty.<br />
<br />
Below is another photoshopped image of a VERY basic example of how the bubble tiles may be installed, however, we hope to see this realized on a MUCH larger scale.<br />

And if you're interested... here is part of our statement about the project... our design approach, if you will.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Charzewski and Moore’s collaborative approach to the design will undoubtedly be based upon our individual art practices. What unites our work is our use of the topographical style, or the grid, as a basic reference and starting point. The grid is a common denominator for engagement in our work and the final result is orderly, yet fluid, and slightly chaotic when necessary.<br />
<br />
Part of our design strategy will encompass this topographical style and will result in a sort of controlled chaos. Our collaborative project, involves the replication of a single module, or master tile, which contains a sculptured surface of a bubble eruption that appears to be random to the viewer. The individual bubbles are specifically placed on the master tile so that when another identical tile is placed next to it is continues the bubble topography. We would like to mass produce these identical tiles, and with them create a large-scale installation that responds to existing architecture and enhances the surrounding environment.</blockquote>Lauren Frances Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15650991975579356596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751943952429916533.post-46681499917663387792011-04-11T08:39:00.002-04:002011-04-11T08:40:11.536-04:00who knew?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3yPTQ3_PWFlKGcuKYYPjSNXrl2vO-WVLPMMjQG4oJ11ttYpwvmIstMNiaLAED8ddIzc52xFCIb3y6n7bUdMxKF_om6CJzEuVA2IM72dZU1eNCVln9YBtXRLVXwJrrhVYWnY1lEOSQt2I/s1600/CofC+Homepage.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3yPTQ3_PWFlKGcuKYYPjSNXrl2vO-WVLPMMjQG4oJ11ttYpwvmIstMNiaLAED8ddIzc52xFCIb3y6n7bUdMxKF_om6CJzEuVA2IM72dZU1eNCVln9YBtXRLVXwJrrhVYWnY1lEOSQt2I/s400/CofC+Homepage.png" width="400" /></a></div>Check it out... apparently I'm on the College of Charleston's homepage! ha! <a href="http://www.cofc.edu/">CLICK HERE</a> to see it for real.Lauren Frances Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15650991975579356596noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751943952429916533.post-26456621373565746942011-04-09T17:42:00.000-04:002011-04-09T17:42:22.448-04:00KK7<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6p-NnPCAFzByGzuLLJITElEevnKuOjsFMGsAylIC7tTupYOKwREILuv9dc9uG-UYaZ90pd7oApr3gP5jUu_6Do5jXZXN6l3e86dDz6E8bNepZ1fHPHrQjANCYukv3GQNlzC1yL6rUaEaK/s1600/kk7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6p-NnPCAFzByGzuLLJITElEevnKuOjsFMGsAylIC7tTupYOKwREILuv9dc9uG-UYaZ90pd7oApr3gP5jUu_6Do5jXZXN6l3e86dDz6E8bNepZ1fHPHrQjANCYukv3GQNlzC1yL6rUaEaK/s320/kk7.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>Tonight the dancers will be performing Darkness/Light (the dance collaboration I've been working on) at Kulture Klash!

We poured metal on Friday and anxiously awaited Saturday when we could bust open the mold and see what we got. We had no clue what to expect. Since it was such a large mold, we could only keep our fingers crossed that we wouldn't run out of aluminum... the biggest crucible can only hold 80 pounds! There were fears of air bubbles, leaks, and shrinkage, all of which occurred, but only on a minimal scale. We're hoping it's nothing we can't fix. <br />

Which just means we had to chisel off all of the extra stuff. There's a little foundry vocab for you! This has been such an interesting process for me. I took a foundry class last spring, but due to a malfunctioning furnace and kiln, never got to do many pours. This project is giving me the chance to learn metal casting in a much more hands-on way, which, despite the hours upon hours of tedious technical stuff, has proven to be quite an exciting learning process.Lauren Frances Moorehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15650991975579356596noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751943952429916533.post-69366176135443286272011-04-02T08:24:00.000-04:002011-04-02T08:24:17.220-04:00Young Contemporaries 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXgytKwLcwB8KZtdVrdChdNLUtPwndl8wOo6RfysQOH60DMVOEAknQpNa8Nesym8xNkWwCLsR3D-unZcJF8Of5hTihQZYmJH3gbIm3ZU-VQCxLK0DUYh2nEnvJ2RiLnoWcbbmJLTE3lU4-/s1600/YC11winners.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXgytKwLcwB8KZtdVrdChdNLUtPwndl8wOo6RfysQOH60DMVOEAknQpNa8Nesym8xNkWwCLsR3D-unZcJF8Of5hTihQZYmJH3gbIm3ZU-VQCxLK0DUYh2nEnvJ2RiLnoWcbbmJLTE3lU4-/s320/YC11winners.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Congratulations to all the Young Contemporaries prize winners!
