The Artist at Work
The Artist at Work is a 1957 short story by Albert Camus, available here. The story is the basis for an ongoing course/project organized by Sophy Naess and BHQFU.
The project was staged at Recess during January & February 2010 and produced a trailer which was screened at the Brucennial.
The first phase of the course could be described as critique sessions as narrative roll play. Participants were asked to fulfill more or less specific assignments each week, and those works & performances combined with group discussions and videoshoots to generate various scenes from the novella.
The continuation of the course involves incorporating new footage shot on site at artists' studios, gallery openings, dinner parties, and other situations where the Artist at Work applies him or herself.
