Collaborative Project
A collaborative project on ideas of longing, distance, and successful failures. A longing for another place, the distance from that place, and the successes and failures in our past/present/future place.
To have two places in mind, an older studio where we’ve been accustomed to working and our current place of art making (or a hypothetical future place). Images of both places will be photographed through processes that reflect our new methods of art making and interacting since moving to Chicago. The spaces documented will be marked with date and location, then displayed in relation to each other, with the current Chicago spaces together on one side (see diagram above), and the old spaces on the other side.
We hope to visually guide the audience through the blank spaces, so that they feel lost between the two places while resonating with their own life experience bouncing between cities. One might consider one’s place in the gallery staring at empty wall space much like we’ve questioned our places in a foreign city.
