Magic

Look at the beautiful fragment I discovered after rummaging through some found lino. I think it shows Dylan Trigg’s argument in a weird but wonderful way. The ruins of space really do allow us to identify place. Pure MAGIC.

The Memory of Place

I am very excited to have ordered Dylan Trigg's new book The Memory of Place. 

Edward Casey gives an inspiring insight into the books content in his writing for the blurb. 

"From the frozen landscapes of the Antarctic to the haunted houses of childhood, the memory of places we experience is fundamental to a sense of self. The Memory of Place charts the memorial landscape that is written into the body and its experience of the world. Dylan Trigg’s The Memory of Place offers a lively and original intervention into contemporary debates within “place studies,” an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of philosophy, geography, architecture, urban design, and environmental studies. Through a series of provocative investigations, Trigg analyzes monuments in the representation of public memory; “transitional” contexts, such as airports and highway rest stops; and the “ruins” of both memory and place in sites such as Auschwitz. While developing these original analyses, The Memory of Place argues that the eerie disquiet of the uncanny is at the core of the remembering body, and thus of ourselves. The result is a compelling and novel rethinking of memory and place that should spark new conversations across the field of place studies".

Complete Incompleteness

Recently when creating models I have been leaving the traces of my process. It just seems right for them to be in an incomplete state. Similar to the urban environment it is never resolved but maps peoples dreams and imaginations yet to come. I have been looking at artists who reveal their process in their artwork and their reasons behind it. Contemperary artist Francis Alys considers the process as much of an artwork as the final product. He believes that the creative process before the work is the most lively moment of the art piece.
