Mapping Time Exhibition - a Decade of Artwork
Mapping Time, an archival exhibition, presents more than 87 art projects in drawing, digital print, video and installation art produced over the last 10 years by students from the Visual Arts program at AUC.
The work is a part of their final project for the course titled Advanced Studio II. The exhibition includes projects that students have also shown as their graduation projects, along with new projects produced for this exhibition.
The project is structured around two main phases. The first phase focuses on the archival process as a process of thinking, research and positioning time within human consciousness. The second phase focuses on the study and practice of virtual mapping structures to produce an artwork that investigates the conceptual ideas of art. Placing a heavy emphasis on understanding creativity as an exercise of thought and imagination, the project was designed to create an educational experience that aims to bridge conceptual art practice and art education in an attempt to establish a direct connection between experimental research and art education as an intuitive experience.
"The project was designed to create an educational experience that establishes a direct connection between experimental research and art education," ElNoshokaty notes. "This individual and collective undertaking results in an experience that is both profound and extensive for the group at large."
