A few of the books I have read (snippets of bits, and the whole of a few); some of the prose I picked out for it was mentioned in 'Maps of the Imagination' for the creative ways they have been written, and which methods would be interesting to apply to artworks, as well as writing...
The Great Gatsby- writing 'on the principal of an iceberg, there is seven eights of it underwater for every part that shows'...
Georges Perec- very interesting writing on very 'uninteresting' subjects.
Life A Users Manual: Chapters:
In the Boiler Room I;
On the Stairs, 6;
Third Floor Right, 2.
Species of Spaces and Other Pieces: The Apartment Building, Project for a novel.
'1 is having a drink
1 is typing
2 are reading a newspaper, one sitting in an armchair, the other stretched out on a divan
3 are asleep
1 is having a shower
1 is eating toast
1 is coming through the doorway into a room where there is a dog'
Further reading from the Everyday, Ben Highmore (Everyday Life and Cultural Theory) ideas that link up very well with previous project- make the everyday interesting by an 'alternative' aesthetic, 'make it strange', 'surprising juxtapositions', 'artistic montage', 'shock us out of established forms of attention'.
