The notion of the neutrality of the white walls and us as the artists challenging this gallery logic, marking it just with our presence was initially very intriguing. However having seen the video of the singing performance ‘Concert: The Lesson on Dis-consent’, we added to the mark making, therefore increasing the audiences curiosity and perception of our behaviour.
As you can see from the aftermath, we marked the white walls around the viewers and the artists’ work, claiming the negative space to be our own. Making the public space, private, in a sense by occupation, and also with the chalk and fluorescent post-it strip marks.
I believe we challenged the gallery logic and in doing so, may have managed to raise a few eyebrows! However maybe by just observing as watchers within the space, we could have achieved the same results.
