We were thinking of not using sound effect anymore.
The leack is forming on its one for making a micro disaster.
The leack would come from a fake ceiling, and drop slowly on the floor.
This puddle will grow after hours.
Without the sound, the work would be more subtle and less obvious.
People will wonder if the leack is part of the exhibition, or it is neglected by the gallery.

Psycho Buildings


Hayward Gallery celebrates its 40th anniversary with Psycho Buildings. As a gallery designed with bréton brut (literally meaning raw concrete) in mind, the exposed space becomes a blank, grey canvas. The ten featured artists have the tenet of buildings, whose odd states of abandonment or demolition put them in an irrational world. This provocative environment is the artists’ playground, and as they transform the buildings the audience are invited to interact and perceive architecture and space in extraordinary ways.

the murders of crows
This is the exhibition of Janet Gardiff on Hamburger Bahnhof.
Very interesting piece, with an empty space, 98 speakers and chairs in the big haal of the museum.

The Accident of Art ...or,...Our First Serious Post....
The Accident of Art by Paul Virilio/ Sylvére Lotringer
I happened to have borrowed this book from the library some time ago..but did not make the connection when we were talking about Virilio today..dir!
Here is a quote that could be relevant to us and our project here at ICYFG:
There is a catastrophe within contemporary art. What I call the "optically correct" is at stake. The vision machine and the motor have triggered it, but the visual arts haven't learned from it. Instead, they've masked this failure with commercial success. This "accident" is provoking a reversal of values. In my view, this is positive: the accident reveals something important we would not otherwise know how to perceive.
-- Paul Virilio, The Accident of Art
You can read more about the book at Goodreads (a very nice nerdy-bookreaders website i would reccommend!);
