Presentation #3

PROPOSAL #2, version 3

What happened…

during my last presentation, the following things were discussed:

• the difference between illustrating/depicting what happens in a place vs. manipulating how we (the audience) will behave
• creating a place vs. using an existing one
• using performance vs. materials to explore ideas of place

What I did…

I enclosed the “waiting room” so that it was a place you could enter, sit and wait. I had someone already in there, waiting, to make people feel that they were allowed to go in and stay if they wanted.

What I learned…

• what is subtle in a photograph isn’t necessarily so in actuality.
• people don’t forget that they are “in” an art piece, although they might not make the connection that they “are” the piece…
• choreographing their (the audience) entrance is important part of the experience
