Guerrilla Art for Melbourne Art Festival

Derby College was asked to present a number of pieces of artwork and sculptures in the style of guerrilla/street. This was the first brief we were given, we had two weeks to execute our idea. This meant that any issues we came across throughout the making process we needed to resolve and move on immediately. As this was a live brief, the pressure was higher and collectively we felt that there was no room for error. As a starting point, I researched the different types of guerrilla art and some examples in my sketchbook to refer back to. Although I had some knowledge of street art, I was not aware that sculptures can be perceived as street art. Techniques such as yarn bombing and low poly structures were also unknown to me. My research was sufficient enough to teach me how to execute a low poly sculpture. In our group of 3, we discussed many initial ideas ranging from small animals made for the mere entertainment of passing children to current political leaders to evoke a reaction and therefore action. We wanted our piece to have a meaningful message yet allow room for many interpretations depending on the observers' preferences and style. The brief was met through the sculpture being a gorilla, the main theme was ‘rumble in the jungle’. We managed to incorporate more definitions into it. The idea was to make people more aware of the impact climate change has on habitats and their animals. The gorilla is homeless because it is being hunted and its forests are being burned down. One of the other meanings was a note on homelessness in our society, as a group we were familiar with the village of Melbourne. We knew that its residence were groups of people who didn’t understand homelessness or why someone may be made homeless. The village is fairly small and most people know eachother, there were no homeless people in it. 

Seeing a homeless person often provokes thought on why that person may be homeless, whether we should help them or not in that time and place. The people of Melbourne weren’t exposed to that therefore they rarely though about this societal issue and most likely misunderstood it.

The reason we were happy enough to present our gorilla without hands and feet is because we found out from research done during the making that gorillas are often hunted using traps placed in their living spaces. These traps would often grab hold of their hand or foot to keep them in place, giving the hunter time to shoot them. We decided to include an interpreting in the painting too, we wanted everything done to have a purpose and effect. The cool tones grey exterior shows how a homeless person may appear or feel like but on the inside they still had hope, shown by the many colours.  

If we had more time we could've added hands and feet. As the designer of the sculpture, I understood my own interpretation but most likely, the average people who will see this will not spend enough time interpreting it, therefore, I will not achieve the same understanding. It is likely that people thought we were too lazy or not creative enough to make the hands and feet.

Most passers-by understood that this was a homeless gorilla and probably had a sufficient understanding to figure out why it was homeless. However, they probably wouldn’t conclude the many other interpretations we came to. Making the gorilla look obviously out of place ensured that the major idea was translated correctly. 

As a group we worked fairly sufficiently, when deciding what our sculpture will be we took a vote to make sure that a decision was made fairly. We split the work between us, giving each person a certain task to focus on, it made us much more time efficient. I would say that each day of the task was used very well, as this was a making brief there was a general sense of enthusiasm from everyone. Once we had cut out and glued the cardboard pieces, sewed the blanket, and assembled the head, we all painted it together as it was the last job to be done. 

We included as many aspects that have distinctive meanings as possible in the hopes that every single person who looks at it will inderstand at least one thing and think about how they may be contributing or ignoring the issue. 

I think the bright, primary coloured head sits very well against the dull grey of the body, it makes the piece as a whole more attractive to the passer’s-by eyes. The use of cardboard was very important as it was readily available, familiar to work with and gave us the qucikest results. We decided to make it low poly rather than organic to enhance the fact that it is an art piece trying to get people to think about the environmental impact they may be having. 

Practical skills; Cutting out the different shapes from the cardboard and keeping them organised were tasks that took longer than expected. Due to the cardboard having a corrugated centre the cutting process was laborious. We took it in turns to cut the pieces out, we had to go over the same line a few times to make sure it is fully cut, our knives skills were less than basic. I was holding the knife in a way that left marks on my hand and applied pressure on the wrong spots. 

Research; Considering this was the first project given to us and it started on the first day, I think my research was sufficient to both educate me and give me inspiration. I knew what the research should be, I knew it had to be analysed and used for inspiration. Based on feedback, in the future I need to make analysis in greater detail and use a wider range of research images and tools. Rather than relying solely on Google Images, I should use books, magazines, blogs, museum websites etc.

Context; As a group we reminded eachother of the brief and the different aspects attached to the festival and venue. This ensured that we remained focused and our ideas were aimed specifically to meet our client’s request. 

Problem solving; The only issue with the gorilla we had was the head, we resolved the size by folding cardboard around a teammates head to get an approximate idea. The facial features were the hardest to execute. I was asking for a second opinion on the size of the face piece and my teammate had a scrap piece that was intended to be the mouth but turned out too small. She layered her piece on top of the face to see if she could use it in the final sculpture and it looked the best we could make it. 

Planning and production; We had virtually no plan which made it difficult and gave us a few set backs. We discussed number of sides for each limb and made lines on the flat cardboard. We tried to take measurements but weren’t very consistant. 

Presentation; Although we had minor issues throughout, we managed to produce a sculpture that met the brief, gave a very important message and looked very well thought out. 

A educação é a base de tudo. É ela que nos prepara pra viver em comunidade, que faz criar um futuro melhor, muda realidades, traz esperança. Um país que não investe em educação, é um país sem brilho, violento, pobre de valores e sem expectativas.

It's been nearly a year since I did #messagestoc which is a #guerrillaart project where I abandon 100 messages in a 100 different public places. Decided to drop one at jersey shore premium outlets. Also I saw I had a bucket list for before I turn 30 where I listed completing the 100 as a goal. Hopefully I can do it in a few months tho this is missive 5 so i have a long way to go. This incredible #zine by @adamgnade was originally for a guy I had a crush on. When I told him about my mental illness issues and how I was performing a monologue on it, he called it amazing and wonderful and great. How Open in Emergency from AALR and my work would build support and love within our communities. He was the first person outside of my life that I opened up to about my mental health. He said he was going through depression. I'll always be grateful for his kind words. Eventually he left the company I met him at and he stopped replying to my texts so i decided to leave this book in public for someone else to use. It helped me through my depression and my struggles so i hope this helps someone else as well. You can buy a copy at @pioneerspress They're really great. Also I believe this counts towards my #100DaysofPoetics hehe. I hope he's doing well. #The100DayProject (at Jersey Shore Premium Outlets)
