GALLERY MANIFESTO O2
I am having great problems working with the form of my gallery. Gone back to the manifesto to redefine. Hopefully it will be useful.
BORROWING LIGHT
Oxford Circus. We are told to buy, buy, buy.
shop windows are lit as bright as possible in a perennial christmas light atmosphere
[at christmas we buy and buy and buy, don’t we?].
We are going to sit on top of these streets, and show them from up here how
light can be used in a different way. We will ‘borrow’ light, no continuous consuming.
We will sit on the building, borrow light from the sun to illuminate our gallery
[and borrow it from the streets and buildings when its dark].
One space will borrow it from the other, subtly, without anybody noticing.
spaces connecting, spaces separating, spaces that mean something
because of the kind of light they have. The light will be what materializes the form.
