PV 6 – 9 pm 14th of June 2012. Six weeks spent in a gallery, within a largely derelict council estate, awaiting the hammer. The entire building becomes a transitory space. The stairwells and hallways already empty, the doors and windows mostly boarded and shored up. A space without place. This building has no provenance, no one exceptional having died long ago lived or worked here, nor is it a great example of an architectural style. There were no symbols incorporated within its design betraying the consistency of our historical beings, the clean lines and empty space are between time, before and after and soon to be forgotten. The properties of value for veneration are not here, while we preserve perceived architectural and historical value elsewhere; to what end.
