1: Gallery
In
this case the Hewlett Gallery is the non-site; the beginning of everything.
The space functions as an introduction and a source of infomation. In
my memory I can see the gallery director Petra's face. She is smiling
and suggesting all kinds of possibilites for the gallery. Changing the
gallery space has been done by numerous artists; but I would like to use
the opportunity a little differently. If I eliminated the gallery, nothing
would be left. After talking to Petra, I questioned myself: why would
I like to have a show at the Hewlett? What are the distinguishing features
of the space; what kind of people go there; and how could I lead the audience
outside the gallery? There are four elements in the gallery: --a bookcase
structure with many glass containers of slag which I brought from the
Nine Mile Run site. If you look closely, you will see moss growing on
the surface of the slag . --a computer with the web page for the Studio
for Creative Inquiry project "Nine Mile Run" and the history
and current development by the Brownfield project team. --a small booklet
about Nine Mile Run summer plants on the receptionists desk. --photographs
and handouts showing where to go next. |
