The curatorial approach is
focused on the sculpture to alter the experience of the landscape and site. Even the smallest object adds definition and
character to space. Our own projections onto them structure a system of imagined
and real activities, creating interiorised space. Every object holds the
potential for an action or an event, that is, people find within them behaviors
and states. Thus the object must not be limited to its physical form, but recognized
for its atmospheric and temporal qualities. Damien Butler's “Your Color PlayHouse”
carries an evocative reminder of the power of these small intrusions to shape
how people spend time. The objects of this installation themselves are virtually
insignificant in that they are only facilitators, though they built around them
a shift in occupation, behavior, and spatial quality, through the intangibles of
vision and light. These bring out the aesthetic significance of objects as
shapers of movement and inhabitation, over time and through space. Spaces
themselves are not defined only by comprehensive and definite structures - the
controlled gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art. Quiet introductions of
objects and the imaginative potential that they hold also redefined spatial
experience in a much quieter way; they disrupt existing orders, and in doing so
re-create them.
An object carries with it a field of influence.
What objects are not defined by the parameters of architecture, when they are
strategically dispense, they hold the potential to blur the limits of place and
program, providing minor accents and experimental landscapes. This is the kind
of architecture not based on construction limits, but a form of disappearing
act as features dissipate into the streets. However, through their introduction,
they re-orient existing domains and our interaction with them.
