collections from the last place

art + space + audience

Currently studying Criticism & Curatorial Practice at the Ontario College of Art & Design. Research interests include how contemporary factors are changing the processes of historicization; what political/social/technological factors contribute to movement-free "movements"; and what elements in a space have the capacity to make art accessible and engaging to all audiences.

I'll use Posterous to amass a collection of things around the Internet that catch my eye. Anything that warrants a more elaborate comment can be found on my website:

Elaine Ling

Canadian photographer Elaine Ling.

From the artist:

These images are from a diamond mining ghost town in the Namib desert.

This natural installation began 40 years ago when the German miners and their families abandoned this small cluster of homes struggling to remain above the sand. Once left to the unhindered advances of the enormous linear sand dunes rolling back from the sea, the rooms began filling up with sand and the very familiar objects of daily living took on a surrreal affect.

Fritz Fabert

Fritz Fabert, Archäologie der Arbeit [Archeology of Work]

Via Conscientious:

Archaology of Work presents "relics" from closed down businesses and hospitals. It's such a simple idea, it works so well, and it's such a fine alternative to giving the world yet another series of abandoned buildings (seriously, we've had more than enough of those!).
