Number one place to go on a friday afternoon without the expectance of flying off anywhere pleasant.
Which was part of the reason.
I wanted to have a think about non-places, an airport being one of these. The main thing that I found interesting was the feeling of being in a non place, being in an airport without going anywhere gives completely different experience...displacement? It was just quite odd.
Got me thinking about changing what you do in a place- Thinking back to Gregor Schieder...
So Instead of changing the place/space, changing what you do...
I did a bit of stitching while I was out, as oppose to photographs, thinking back to that 'profound limitations of the visual' so stitching instead of photographs...Also wanted to play around with the idea of locating what we do and what we remember to where we are spatially..
I read something about 'waiting' the other day on Art Angel, which I think quite applies to the idea of being in non places...
We wait. We think.
Caught between one place and another. Railways, airports, lifts, motorways, roads.
Thinking about dead spaces, non places, altering characteristics, by objects? what sort of changes?
Round in circles- Space, place, unheimlich...
