PROPOSAL for room project. Julieta.

After thinking and experimenting several posibilities during the last days, I got to the point where I know what my proposal for the Room Project is going to be.
I wont try to explain it all in this post, I just want to let you know a bit about it because I feel we all need to take into account the fact that we are sharing a working space.

Basically, my proposal is about considering, taking care and loving the space in between our studio and the corridor. I am planing to develop a piece of work in the frame and internal part of the second door in the studio (tha one that was locked).
The work is going to be a performance piece, my final objetive is to turn this non-space (in between spaces place) into a proper space. With this in mind, I am studying what are the characterstics of a space, and what I need to develop to make it work.
I think the first step was detecting what space I wanted to create, it has to be A specific place, not a generic one.
I considered bringin a living room, a kitchen, a storage room, and then realized that I want to recreate my garden. The garden from my house in Buenos Aires, make a relation and proportion with the rectangular shaped space I am using now and translate that summer flowery loved space in there.
With my mom´s help, I already collected pictures from all the type of plants and flowers there, and I am making a plan of the space.
After preparing all the elements, I will dedicate 2 or 3 days to "gardening" the frame, turning myself into my grandmother, who is the person incharge of taking care of the real garden.This action has a lot of detailed work and dedication, I want to absolutelly connect with this space and give all my love and care to ir during this period of time.

Will this avoided for years space change after recieving my focused love and attention?
Will passers by, constant users of doors, realize of the existence of this space after I interact with it? Will they stay in it? enjoy it? dedicate mora than 0,3 seconds that is the time genneraly have our bodies under doors?

I wrote an email to Pierpaolo asking permission for taking care of this space, starting with fixing all the imperfections in it, probably re-painting the frame to make a white background to work over, and maybe sanding the edges a bit to avoid the layers of paint from obstructin the door.

This are some pictures of the first experiment I did yesterday in a door in my room, and the pictures of the door I am planing to use in the studio, just as a way of visualizing what it might look like.

I am conscious of the great failure potential of this proposal, since if I am not able to comunciate my intention in the way I feel it, it will just turn into some little colorfull thing in a frame. I am taking the risk of choosing a very minimal and detailed outcome, in comparison to the other possible ideas I had explored for the last week, that involved blocking spaces, constructing walls, deconstructing sofas and other maybe more "scultpural" forms.
But in the end I just tryed to connect with what I really want to do and project myself into, and not what I think will fulfill others expectations.
And I feel so engaged now to my proposal, that I just can´t wait to act!

I commit to respond to all the door and frame needs and desires during the process, and watch out to all the norms and regulations that shuld be taken into account.

Thank you.

Juli.
