I hope this fits here. Otherwise a mod can put it into a different sub-forum.
Here's my issue: I'm studying Informationdesign (my first time ever studying something) and for a magazine project that will never be released in public I was meant to make 2 interviews.
I've got the first one with a colleague. The other one was meant to be with an "expert", like an art teacher or museum contact person.
The deadline was really limited (2 weeks), I couldn't find any person without a 2-3-week waiting time and my art teacher that I really wanted to make the interview with is currently ill. Lots of bad luck for me.
The interviews are not going to be released or made public anywhere. The whole problem is our subject that we got from our professor: Art and Crime. For the other subjects like Experience in Society, it's really easy to find contact persons about it. But Art and Crime is so hard. I think our professor really didn't think about this before giving us this task. We are also the very first students to have this kind of interview-task, she did completely different things with students before us. So... hoooraay...
To send at least something in, I thought about this: Down here there are questions about Street Art and a bit about Art trade. Most of them are asking about subjective opinions.
If some users could take some minutes to answer them, I would really appreciate it. You can also leave out questions if you can't think of any real answers or just say that you can't answer it.
I'm most likely going to create a persona with the answers you guys/girls can give me. Then I'll be translating it and make it seem as if I made an interview with a person. The good thing is that it's not exactly cheating because we don't actually need the interviews for anything. Our professor just wanted us to do some sort of journalistic research but I already did it with my colleague.
Just use the numbers for each respective question and type the answer next to the number.
The questions about Street Art are pretty basic. 10-13 are about Art trade. Answer the ones you can:
What's the first thing you think of, when you hear the term Street Art?
If you draw/paint yourself, how do you proceed/work?
^Do you think that Street Artists also work like that?
Have you ever sprayed yourself? If yes, how was it?
Would you call Street Art "art"?
What's the first thing that gets in your head when you hear the term "Graffiti"?
Do you think people have too much of a negative or (even positive) image of Street Art?
Do you think cities suffer or benefit from Street Art?
Do you have any favorite artists or art pieces of Street Art? If yes, which and why?
Did you ever take part in an (art-)auction? If yes, how was it? If not, then why?
Do you think certain art pieces are really worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and even several million?
Do you agree that controversial art pieces should never be viewed by public and better be locked away?
Art trading is increasingly being used as money laundering. New laws are being set to fight it, like less anonymous possibilities for buyers, higher identification procedures and lower limits for cash-only purchases. Do you think that this is the right way to go or would you suggest a completely new approach?
Thanks a lot.
