Beginning of discussions with Angela about collaborating...

Hi Angela,

this is really exciting. And Sophie Calle looks really interesting, I am going to look at the link now.

There are a few projects that have lead me to think of this, but I cannot think of them off the top of my head. I will look through my books and write them down for you to look at.

What you have written below about exploring the boundaries between public/private spaces, used/disused spaces and inbetween spaces are all what interest me. Particularly their placement within an institution or something that is governed and structured by society for society...

Speak tomorrow.

My mum sends her best wishes!

Love, xxxx

do you know Sophie Calle's work?
she mad different social interventions in public and private space.
i send you the link of one of her actions:
http://www.google.de/imgres?hl=de&client=firefox-a&hs=Cn8&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1600&bih=833&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsob&tbnid=3zkunwsPoYZaLM:&imgrefurl=http://pietmondriaan.com/2010/12/19/sophie-calle/&docid=fJhWGv5_2uEPHM&imgurl=http://pietmondriaan.com/pm/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/sophie_0.JPG&w=626&h=421&ei=kT5aUMT3AsTdtAaW7oB4&zoom=1

another one is for example that she worked as a chambermaid in a hotel for three weeks and started observing people who lived in the hotel rooms like a spy with a photo camera. there are many more like that. but i'm actually not that familiar with her work, but there does exist a great catalog about her work with all her interventions in it. (i send you a picture of the cover)

im also intersted in spaces like the space on the ferry, which is a kind of inbetween-space: inbetween countries, water and land, ...

maybe we could even do something about you living one week in my space (which is all the private and public space that surrounds me) and me living one week in your space.
or even doing that while the other is documenting that by photo or video. so we would analyze the spaces that surround us in a way. and we would try to "play" the others role.
or just something similiar to sophie calles idea to become a cook for a week or another occupation

lets talk on friday!
love
