Untitled Relation Project. At Dis-placed artshow on Thursday Aug. 6, 2009, from 7-10p at Studioplex 143.


There is a temptation to create our own little world in the places where we interact. From this interaction, we develop a relationship to the specific space where the interaction takes place. This interaction at times may become intense, forced and private. This is the moment that we can become The Little Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's most famous children novel published 1943), so we can live or belong to one little world. Our activities can manipulate our attachment to different places. The piece Untitled Relation Project explores the boundaries of our human relationship to space and what we do in these spaces. When experiencing this piece, the audience will have unexpected interpretations of the work, as well as thoughts about space and human relation.

During the opening, the artist will perform the function of the incorporated pieces. For the period of the exhibition the collaboration of the viewers will complement the work. Each member of the Gallery can use Untitled Relations components during office hours. Visitors are invited to reserve a time in the Untitled Relation Project to perform their own activities (see attachments). This reservation can be made online or in person.
