Title: Persistent Silence
Space: Stanley Picker Gallery.
Brief: Very loose brief but the narrative/pieces and space must to a certain extent examine themes of persistent/broken silence and how they inter relate to the viewers' experience.
In the discussions I have had with the other members of our collective, I have gathered that they intend to be making work about silence, and the concepts of having no sound.
To break this up, I propose to make visitors to the show change their shoes into tap shoes, so as to contradict all the other work in the space.
When only one or two people are viewing the work, the sound may not be too distracting, but I want to gage peoples reactions to the noise particularly at the private view when there are lots of people, considering the audience are likely to be expecting a peaceful space and calming work.
As much as I want to do this to have a juxtaposition with the other work, silence can also be stressful and awkward, and the added noise will hopefully break that, and break the tension of a gallery environment.
