Exercise 2

For my installation, I am searching for a space that's not much in particular. Not much light. Not much inside of there. Not much going on. Not much space. Not much window. So I got up in the morning and began my search for very little. 


I'm drawn to spaces below ground. Buried. 


They said, "Raise your standards!"

I replied " " not much at all... 


I roamed from dorm basement to dorm basement. Most dorm basements have a few common rooms. Abandoned card games and DVDs. Artifacts. Relics of a devoted CA on duty. Somebody's mother now. 


I visited Art House, Trevor Hall, Sage Hall, Kohler Hall, the Mudd Library, Ormsby Hall, Colman Hall, Steitz, Youngchild, and Memorial Hall. 


Colman had the most not much going on going on. Nestled beneath the quaint "North Wing" of the building are three little completely nothing rooms. They hold mismatched furniture and a table or two. No windows. Not much to remember. Four blank walls in each. They're perfect. I can't even remember which one I like best, because there's nothing to like about any of them! 


In order to use a room in the north wing of Colman, I suspect I should speak to a Colman CA and start from there. My potential challenge is moving the furniture out of one room, I could just shove it all into one of the other three, granted permission from the lovely CA of course... I may also want to play with the idea of using all three rooms because they are so similar.


I found a few other rooms that were nothing in particular, but they were just too big. The three little Colman crannies are cramped. I want it to be stuffy there. 


Too many people. Too much going on.
