Parafiction and Make-Believe, Deception and Magic

Identify something that you wish were true. This could be cultural, aesthetic, psychological, interpersonal, or scientific. The only requirement is that it be a thing that you are interested in trying to prove to someone else, that also relates to the ideas of your artist. This 'someone else' could be a small or large group of people, but you need to be familiar with your audience.

Read the article on Parafiction.


Write down the answers to these questions:

1. what is the 'truth' you will attempt to prove?

2. who is your audience?

3. how can you convince your audience with an image or image series?



CAUTION: This should not be a joke, though it could be humorous. Pick something your artist would approve of. Pretend they are watching you from on high


NEXT WEEK: distribute your poster, booklet, flier or mini website in which you have made truth out of fiction. take a picture of you putting up or passing out your work in a public place and post on the blog
