Memories of Paris Proposal

Memories of Paris will be a space integrative installation in the form of hanging mobile characters and background graphics.  The intention of this project will be to translate the artist’s feeling of nostalgia and reminiscence of Paris.  What were once sketches completed in a real time and place will be re-integrated into a space to communicate the idealized environment in a graphic narrative.  The budget for materials, including transparent acrylic, vinyl sticker prints, and suspension materials may range from $120-$200.  The work time generously dedicated will be 24 working hours.  The final installation will be modular and may be re-integrated into a multiplicity of scenarios.  The key presentation factors will be the hanging of the work, and that it is to be viewed from below, meaning all pieces must be above eye level.  While the original composition is considered to be placed in a corner, the flexibility of the parts allows the installation to take up as little or much space as it needs, with the possibility to span across one single wall or to be scattered into filling a whole room.  The background will be a graphic sketch line up of a Parisian building horizon, while the characters may be anything from sketches of bikers to pedestrians, to dogs.  Everything will be printed as a vector illustration on transparent vinyl, to heavily incorporate the art of the sketches and the dimensionality of the space.
