Homework due, 10.21: Documentation + Project Statement

Now that you have your completed wallet map it’s time to document your work and draft a project statement.

I. Documentation

Working collaboratively you will develop a concept for photographing the wallet. Through your documentation viewers should understand how the object functions both as a wallet and as a map that references 14th street.

There are many options for how you document this project.
You can:
-Stage a photo shoot on site with potential a user

-Photograph the wallet alone and present it as a product, museum artifact, or object related to a stage or site.


*Be sure whatever option you choose viewers understand that the wallet is also a map


The documentation will be presented in the form of a poster, 14” x 17” (with a .25” white boarder on all sides). You can print this size using the large format printer on the 4th floor of 55 West 13th Street.

II. Project Statement

Working collaboratively you will develop a project statement so that if your piece were exhibited viewers could understand the concept and goals of the wallet map.


Information to include (not necessarily in this order):

-Title of your project
-Team participants
-What is the purpose of the project?
-What are you mapping?
-What materials were used to construct the project?
-How does the project relate to a site on 14th Street?
-How does the wallet map function?

Things to think about when writing a project statement:

-Clarity of writing
-Design – what font will you use / how will the text be laid out on the page so that it complements the project?
