Assessment.

Myself and a friend at the time, Nariman Mousavi, were in a mixed undergrad/grad class in 2006.  It quickly became evident whose input was most frequent, most valued, and how crits were steered by this.  Don't get me wrong, I'm glad people actually critiqued in an art class in Vancouver at all.


So we assessed everyone in the class based on a 4 point system and then hung that 'person' appropriately, in relation to where they would normally sit in our oval shape.  Then we installed a pulley system to hang it like a kind of adult mobile, and we liked the slight interaction it created.  Ultimately, it both infuriated and intrigued people at the same time, which was our main goal.


A very self-reflexive art school piece, but a necessary process nonetheless.
