Barking Whales and Breaching Dogs

avondale-bepress-to-dspace.summary<p><strong>Research Background</strong></p> <p>Painting and Film have been compared on a number of levels. Amongst these is the most popular notion of the cinematic ‘frame’ which has been compared on the basis of similarities between cinematic ‘shots’, and actual paintings. This comparison overlooks the fact that there also exists a structural similarity between certain painting methodologies such as (2D) assemblage, and montage, in the sense that smaller units are compiled to create larger units. In cinema, such larger units amount to a film’s duration, while in painting larger units can be seen in a work’s two dimensional configuration of smaller physical parts.</p> <p><strong>Research Contribution</strong></p> <p>The paintings comprising the exhibition <em>Sticks and Flicks</em>, can be considered a structural dialogue between painting practice, and established film practice. This is built on the notion of the similarities between the practices of film montage, and the two-dimensional practice of assemblage which have been utilized in such works as <em>Sticks and Flicks</em>. The works in this exhibition explore the overlap in these practices, in the sense that they are both syntagmatic in their methodology of accruing significance. Film does this by the assembly of shots, scenes, action, etc, whereas the works I have made create a pictorial significance by the amassing of physical components which form each works’ configuration. </p> <p><strong>Research Significance</strong></p> <p>The significance of this research is that it provides a perceptual link between two practices which typically share little in the way of methodology. The value of the work is attested by the fact that it was exhibited at the School of Fine Art Gallery, at the University of Newcastle, and was examined by three external assessors. The exhibition was deemed worthy of the award Ph.D.</p>
