Situating a Display - Practicum Week 7

We carried out a practical exercise to situate our various proposals/manifestos/drawings within an environment of string evoking Duchamp's The Mile String. One of the main objectives was to convey how we consider space as well as rethinking space in regards to the body's implication in such an experience. In regards to alternative practices, with particularly attention to Situationism, Fluxus and Abject art we were able to realise the fundamental principles of contemporary curating from the practicum. Like Duchamp, his work pushed boundaries, he explored or rather questioned what makes art, art? From reorganising and repositioning everyday objects (ready-mades) he was able to challenge such a notion.
