Tasks / Debate The Frame

This task is retired.

Everyone knows that art vs. Art is all about the frame - or the framing, if you prefer. It's high time you framed one or more of your works for The U of A. And no, you can't just go buy a frame (not even from Cheap Pete's). Build one, or at least modify/misuse one. If this is all a little literal, you may feel free to "frame" one of your works in some other way - a la the statue framed by the gallery, the building framed by the photographer. This framing should be a demonstrable process - by which we mean, saying your stencil is framed by the sidewalk (without a clever explanation, or a really fantastic sidewalk) is rather less than what we're looking for.

I got a letter! I wanted to frame it. My walls need more love and this lovely letter is perfect because it pleases me greatly. I had considered purchasing a frame but I recalled seeing this task on the Praxis recently. As I never throw anything a...

Life Imitates Art After a quick doodle to decide what sort of frame we wanted, we began foraging around for wood. We were pleased to discover that I already had some long, pre-stained pieces of wood hiding in my garage. This was especially conv...

I'd been looking for a task where I can employ the tape sculpture technique currently being awesomesauced by Lincoln, and here's the one! I wanted something cool to tape, so that ruled out me, and I not being cool enough to own a real guitar, decide...

I chose one of my favorite photos from Photo Competition #1 for this task. I originally was going to frame the photo with itself. But while I was cutting the frame out, I liked it sitting there, the art being the frame, and framing nothing.

I've been going through a peacock phase, and made the picture in the center awhile ago. It was colored in Photoshop and I also decreased the size there, but I neglected to save a larger version so the picture was too small to hang anywhere but on my ...

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. my mirror frames my reflection...which is art, i think. it is a construct of my brain and eyes that may or may not be an accurate representation of myself.

I created the frame from the objects at hand and then designed the art around it.

Presentation is important to any and all forms of creativity, expression or anything offered for interaction within society/culture. The frame (metaphorically speaking) is like a serving tray, it subconsciously programs the viewer in such a way as to...
