APPARENTLY SOMETHEING TO DO WITH CIRCULATORY FLOW
((-according to a friend who used to work with circulatory flow-)) So I already have pictures that have been formatted in to squares with blank-black dots in the middle – the next step is to approach the interior of course (I thought).
“What is the opposite of the outside (the inside of course – ok)” but then in terms of the aesthetic choice and the form that inspired the work in the first place:
“Another element of research finds its beginnings in the make-up of Leeds’ new city museum that opened in 2008. Upon making friends with an assistant who worked there I managed to locate and attain a number of wooden panels that had some sort of use or pre-function: some sort of history that is unknown to me.
The strange thing is that they have perfect circular holes cut in them, the same point on each one…”
THE NEXT STEP IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE FIRST OR THE NEGATIVE
OR THE NEXT STEP IS THE POSITIVE OF THE FIRST – WHETHER THIS IS TO BE SEEN AS MINUS OR PLUS IS DEPENDENT ON HOW YOU VIEW THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING….
Story:
It happened when walking through the university (re-visiting another idea “an exhibition in the time it takes to empty / clean / re-fill the university pool” – there is another story to this: my friend went skinny dipping and had sex in the pool – but I am not sure how long an exhibition can last during sexual intercourse) – anyway, I then walked down past the hospital and towards millennium square and the Leeds City Museum. I began to think of the architecture as an explore-able object: how on the exterior there are four definite corners and so on the interior there are four findable corners that can be sourced and photographed. So I set too it: but was told not to use flash photography, and to avoid the MUMMY exhibit for copyright / insurance reasons – the most interesting findings were avenues to un-explore-able spaces: fire escapes and scaffolding and a huge arena-space that was closed for a private function. BUT THERE IS ALWAYS CIRCULATORY FLOW I SUPPOSE.
