FINAL PROJECTS

3/19/96 to 3/24/96

MAK Center for Art and Architecture L.A at the Schindler House, 835 North Kings Road, West Hollywood, CA

A virtual "apartment" consisting of six separate "rooms" was installed in various locations throughout L.A.. The urban rooms were defined by individual sculptural elements that were distributed over an area of several hundred square meters, incorporating available infrastructure and public furnishings. The rooms were temporarily inhabitable and aimed to redefine our concept of living environments: the exterior spaces took over the function of the interior spaces and the borders between private / public and inside /outside were dissolved. The installation was conceived to not only functionally fill the unused gaps of the city but also to conceptually occupy them. Ads ( "L.A., CA City Apartment, 500 sq. mile + terrace. US $20,000") constituted part of the artists' public presentation of the project and could be found in American daily newspapers and magazines.
