Dereliction:
Dialogue with a house
7th-8th and 14th-15th
August
10am-6pm
Liz’s
third installation at The Last Gallery documents interventions with
two derelict houses. Casts of objects associated with domesticity have
been introduced to selected features, responding to the disorderly aesthetics
of the ruin implying a restoration of function.
“The
space of the abandoned house can lure us into its cavities of mystery
and intrigue. It presents us with a violation of order, dismissal of
function and exaggerated stimulation of our senses. Objects within can
provide us with both connections and disconnections serving as testimonies
to past events but also as ‘real’, ‘touchable’
products of time.”
In opposition
to this, altered items of furniture have been denied their original
function. They have become hybrid objects echoing the collapse of order
and restrictive access to the derelict houses. This dichotomy between
removal and restoration of function aims to create a tension reflective
of both the unease and beauty witnessed within dereliction
