Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Originate ideas for installation works
   • Use own creative impulse or brief supplied by others to develop ideas for work
   • Research and explore relevant ideas and creative associations for the work
   • Evaluate site requirements and develop responses to accommodate practical requirements and constraints
   • Explore options for materials, technologies and processes to fulfil creative, site and brief requirements
   • Collaborate with others to maximise contribution of project ideas and refine through an ongoing collaborative process
2. Articulate and present project ideas
   • Develop, critique and articulate creative responses to the objectives of the brief and site requirements
   • Develop formal presentation of concept proposal and supporting documentation according to guidelines
   • Present the design proposal with supporting documentation and practical planning data to the industry client, sponsor or selection panel
   • Evaluate and re-work aspects of the proposal as required
3. Plan and document work in response to the site and the brief
   • Plan construction to meet specific site requirements and deadline for delivery
   • Engage with key stakeholders in the project to ensure all requirements are met
   • Represent planning and preparatory work using presentation mechanisms suited to the project
4. Create the installation work
   • Integrate command of technique, materials and process to create installation work that meets creative needs
   • Use critical and creative thought to challenge, adapt and refine the installation
   • Interrogate aspects of work in progress and participate in critical inquiry and discussion
   • Use safe and sustainable work practices throughout the creation of the installation
5. Finalise the installation work
   • Liaise with relevant people on factors affecting the finalisation of the work
   • Identify and address challenges of the installation project to complete work on time
   • Organise the installation of the work, engaging specialist expertise where necessary
6. Evaluate own work
   • Seek and evaluate feedback from others to improve own work
   • Evaluate work against planned strategy for own creative practice and intentions for installation work
   • Assess place of own work in relation to other installation artists
   • Adjust work processes and practice to improve technical, conceptual and commercial outcomes

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

originate and present ideas about installation work in relevant contexts

create and finalise a complete installation art project, including managing its creative, technical and organisational components

evaluate and discuss work in a professional context.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
