:: PROJECTS > Optimism-Packs

I initiated and coordinated a project with fourteen artists installing site-specific projects at King's Inn, Kingston's most notorious derelict building. Artists were asked to respond to the urgency of progress, subsequent inertia, and potential of urban renewal through the creation of ephemeral interventions by utilizing materials found in the "portable studios" of the Optimism Packs.

The abandoned (and now-destroyed) motel was once used as placement for the homeless. To make visible the former residents and the system(s) that catalog members of society, I duplicated and extended the hand-painted room numbers on the entire first floor in duct tape.
