Gimme Shelter

posted at 16:35 GMT by M.River in /news/mriver

a bedroom, a pod, a hotel, a shack, a fort, a bunker, a cell, a cave, a pad, a tent, a shelter, a cabin, an igloo, a hut,

“Oh, a storm is threat’ning
My very life today
If I don’t get some shelter
Oh yeah, I’m gonna fade away”

I have the possibility of building a one or two bed structure inside a skyscraper. It is part workspace, part sleep space and part art. It needs to be temporary, small, and very very inexpensive (as in free) to build. I’ve always been interested in idiosyncratic workspaces and shelters. Tim and I have built two installations in this mode as part of MTAA.

Bunker Flood
Cage Match

I think the appeal of this possible site is that it will be a temporary work space and a sleep space - a mash of two different needs and states. I’m not sure what Tim and I will do or if this project will happen at all but it might be interesting to a talk about it as it develops. permanent link to this post
