Back Space

I've been working on visualising some of the interior scenes of my building. This is inside the rear section of the building. Fairly dark, I want the space to be filled with steam from the coffee machines throughout the room. This particular space is designed for the occasional visitor and the spaces that follow are to become more dramatic as the materiality, furnishings, light and steam will start to distort and reflect the stronger caffeine available in those zones. This is because the program of the building now revolves around the idea of a series of spaces that are for stronger and stronger caffeine highs with a more distorted architecture to reflect this.

Returning To The Window

I have also been returning to my window project and spending time creating a three dimensional version to help illustrate my proposal more clearly. These are 2 early renders where I have begun to define some of the individual elements but there is plenty more I have added since and I will upload the progress soon.

Adding To My Axonometric

I'm still adding different elements to my axonometric in preparation for a model I'll be hoping to get laser cut over the next week. This is a little pile of the pieces. Still lots and lots more to add :-(

Pioneers of the Downtown Scene, New York 1970s

Performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson, choreographer Trisha Brown and artist Gordon Matta-Clark were friends and active participants in the New York art community, working fluidly between visual art and performance.

With the city as their backdrop, canvas, stage and inspiration, this exhibition is the first major presentation to examine the experimental and often daring approaches taken by these three key figures, both individually and collectively, in the burgeoning arts scene in downtown New York during the 1970s.

New York City provided a powerful context for the work of Anderson, Brown and Matta-Clark.
