Electronic
Writing Research Ensemble <home> was a digital
design studio collaboration between third year
Architecture students and second and third year
Interior Architecture students as part of
Architectural Design Studio 5 (Construction)
Three projects aimed to facilitate explorations of what could be considered the 'home of/for art':
- a visual art installation based upon electronic (re)tracings of the work of one of six conceptual artists: Eva Hesse, Louise Bourgeois, John Cage, Mark Rothko, Rosalie Gascoigne, and Marcel Duchamp.
- the Electronic Writing Research Ensemble, a website, web art community and web collection of electronic writing. The project explored the boundaries between 'real' and 'virtual' within the notion of home of/for, this time held within the electronic, as site for work and site of exhibition.
-
a
redesign of the extension to the Art Gallery of South
Australia, originally carried out by
Andrew Anderson of Peddle Thorpe and Walker in association with Robert
Dickson. The work from the first two projects, as traces of textual and
digital experimentations on art practices and exhibition, returned home.
In this studio we head for home...for the home-site, for the site of home. We scatter; we attend; we make: we bring home into sight: what appears appears momentarily, but appears nevertheless, and remains forever as having appeared. Design, here, is no longer a designing-in-order-to make a home. This studio seeks 'welcome' in and as liminal spaces; spaces at the threshold - of both in and out (architecture and interior), belonging and outcast (decorum and vagrancy), real and virtual (human and digital). Luce Irigaray identifies this zone in/as a portico, 'set-before' the home, but open to a showing, an appearing, of indeterminacy (the other); the scene of an impossible meeting.
