Wall

Royal Collage of Art
London, 2002

For the exhibition it was necessary to build a wall dividing the entrance hall. As a strategy of camouflage I offered to design this wall myself, as my contribution to the exhibition.

Walls usually have the function of articulation and division, they are used to split a space in two, or to create two spaces out of one: one before, the other after.

This “before” and “after” point to a dimension of time that is important. For walls always imply the possibility of a passage, the possibility of a door. The spatial dimension of the wall's thickness corresponds to the timely dimension of the passage it proposes. But could this equation be exaggerated to the point of monstrosity?

This project was produced for the exhibition "The Straight or Crooked Way" at the Royal College of Art, curated by final year students on the MA Curating Contemporary Art (Miguel Amado, Max Andrews, Louise Coysh, Tatiana Cuevas, Marcello Grioli, Nav Haq, Rachel Kent, Francesco Manacorda, Erin Manns, Beth McDowell, Eliza Patten, Abigail Scholar).
