Changes

Each day, 5 hours after arrival into the space, artist curator “punches the clock” and artist places an analogue collage under the glass cabinet.

The collage is inspired by and made from the things found in the Frontyard library (and maybe on the grounds of Frontyard). Neither artist nor the curator can bring any of their own materials nor tools into the space. The collages are made only out of things found there. Texts and images found in the library books are used by photocopying them on the Frontyard library’s photocopierrisograph. No book is damaged.

The tools used to make collages are also only those found in the space (i.e. if there are not no scissors there we use hands , teeth, or kitchen knifes to cut).

Artist can make only one collage a day , resisting a desire to over-create and a societal pressure to over-produce. The size of each day’s collage can however vary (there is no limit to the scale). Maybe there is even a day when only scraps of paper are placed under the glass cabinet.

Each day the collage under the glass cabinet is replaced with the new one (like changing of the guards).  The photo of the day’s collage (sitting in the cabinet) is taken by the artist (polaroid style photo) then printed with the time date and date (time that corresponds to the exact moment the collage is placed under the cabinet).

At the end of the residency, on the 14^th day, the guests are invited over for a dinner and to see the final day’s collage exhibited under the cabinet + 13 photos of the past days collages exhibited in the dining area.
