"French Mottershead" participation

My friend Nipa and I went to speak with the collective "French Mottershead" to be apart of their project. They assigned us to go out around the school to look for three main criteria that they were looking for that is publicly displayed. The first was to find any official rules and regulations, for health and safety rules for example. The second was any handwritten notes claiming their possessions, like putting your name on something in a group cafeteria. The final thing they were looking for was any unwritten known rules that are possibly broken or anyway you can document that known regulation and have it communicated. The exhibition was mostly of photographs from all students who participated. The artists had a map and explained how they split up the area and which areas they were waiting to get permission to enter. I had taken a few photos around the Art building (the painting sinks with all the handwritten notes) and a "No Swimming" sign that was placed around a murky, trash ridden pond. My friend Nipa had documented the Biology labs to take photos of health hazards with toxic chemicals whether they were verbal warnings or visual ones. They were only here on campus for the week and kept everyone informed through the social network, Facebook online. There was an exhibit at the end of the week in the Oliver Gallery of all of the students' collaborative efforts. It was a great social mini-project that the two artists put together for us and was a wonderful opportunity overall. I was very impressed with how they organized a social project with such simple ideas of thinking of the realms of private/public space and hidden regulations.
