Where Is Our Space?
Where Is Our Space is the name of a series of installations that was put up around Central Saint Martins, Southampton Row, Wednesday 25.11.2009. Through Where Is Our Space the artists wish to put focus on the lack of communication between students and the administration at our college. Over the last few years the students at Southampton Row has gone from having a student bar, a student cafe and a social outdoor smoking garden, to having none whatsoever. All these decisions seem to have been done without communication between staff and students. We wanted to show through these instillation’s that we feel our space has been stolen. With the installations we hope to raise questions about these decisions - hopefully making both students and staff aware of the benefits that comes through dialogue. We also threw up a heavily modified Tumblr-blog while we were at it, to get peoples opinions and thoughts. The project is still running in terms of gathering signatures, and we are planning on handing in the petition to the course leaders pretty soon. Collaboration with Martin Batt, Bjornar Pedersen and Dan Tracey.
