Still
LIVE by Fran Cottell |
Living
occupation: a live installation: the uncollectible The members of the household continue to use the rooms as functional spaces. The contents of and action within the house are used by the artist/occupants as raw material for art. Aesthetic value is found in the under valued and everyday. The work is a response to the current political/social climate by focussing on the micro. It is an alternative perspective that re- assesses the aesthetic of intimacy, emotional engagement and the creation of value. The work inverts priorities and questions status- its presents the house’s order/disorder in a tension between domestic action and self-conscious acts of display. Cage defined the real as a state of continuously becoming:’ present ness. The world, the real is not an object, it is a process. The installation embraces time, presenting Still LIVE, not a still life. Fran Cottell’s interest is in non-theatrical performance involving small gestures. Venue: 18 Woolwich Road, Greenwich, London SE10 0JU Tel 0208 858 0782 Exhibition by appointment |
