My space at 20 Colegate for the residency. Exciting, trying to think of things I want to do there and what I want to make. Assessment is on Monday as well.
Sorry the photos are rubbish.

I go to see 20 Colegate properly for the first time tomorrow, and hopefully see the space I have been given within it. I am really nervous and excited. I found these old photograph of the building on the internet, thank you google image search. I will also hopefully have some things in the NUCA Christmas Show for sale. Not amazing things, but still things.

ps.



pps.

Photobooth has actually become an obsession. So here are some photos of vaguly work related things, and a nice photo of dale. This post is maybe somewhat pointless.

Also I just saw something amazing thanks to klubbclub hq, I cant wait to see where this project ends up.

I cant work out a way to make condensation without steam machine, kettle, refrigeration unit. Hopefully I will work something out.
The residency and exhibition is happening as far as I am aware, I am going to see the space on Tuesday. There are 11 people involved, and everyone will have a room each. I am absolutely terrified about it, but hopefully it will be okay, and it is always good to push yourself I suppose. Above is a picture of the building from google maps.

- I took the concrete window out of its mould today. I am still working it out. I may wax it to make it look like condensation.

- Is there a way to make condensation artificially?

- Use light to make architecture/space a monument but unmonumental at the same time

- I might have another exhibition coming up very soon, if everything goes to plan, it will be a short residency with other people. I am very nervous.

T R I B U T E went really well, go over the the blog to have a look.

The gallery where I am working on a show in November is changing, and being reconfigured. As a result the gallery space will be smaller, and the bit that is going is the parquet floor, which is the bit I was to use, and was really central to the work existing. I am going to try to find some other space to reconfigure the work, even if only to document it. However this now means for TRIBUTE I have to reconsider my ideas, and figure out other work to make for it. Which is a bit frustrating. In fact working full stop at the moment is frustrating.

Fragments of architecture (bits of walls, of rooms, of streets, of ideas) are all one actually sees. These fragments are like beginnings without ends. There is always a split between fragments which are real and fragments which are virtual, between experience and concept, memory and fantasy. These splits have no existence other then being passage from one fragments to another. They are relays rather then signs. They are traces. They are “in-between’.
It is not the clash between these contradictory fragments that counts, but the movement between them. And this invisible movement is neither a part of language nor of structure (‘language’ or ‘structure’ are words specific to a mode of reading architecture which does not fully apply in the context of pleasure); it is nothing but a constant and mobile relationship inside language itself.
How such fragments are organized matters little: volume; height, surface, degree of enclosure or whatever. These fragments are like sentences between quotation marks. Yet they are not quotations. They simply melt into the work.
