Common Clearings
Common Clearings is a sensory art experience created through ordinary elements: colored fabric and notably: the wind and the sun. The work explores the rooftop as a space for collective reflection, play, and simply being. Common Clearings is created as a part of the Sinnesrausch (”Sensory high”) exhibition at the OÖ Kulturquartier in Linz 2019. The work consists of physical installation and a book entitled “Common Clearings – a collection of texts on human fundamentals”. The installation is formed by a metal structure and hanging fabrics with different densities and shapes, centered around a clearing. The fabrics are hung to create a multitude of spatial experiences, exploring thickness and openness, light and shadow, inside the structure measuring 6427 meters. As a weird, artificial forest it offers both a grove, a more compact forest, and a central clearing where the audience is invited to lie down. The work is a response to the curatorial ambition of using the impressive roof as a place for artistic experimentation exploring the senses and the city. With this backdrop, we wanted to explore the vision of a collective place for contemplation and reflection. As part of the installation, we made a book called Common Clearings – A collection of texts on shared fundamentals. The book is available in the installation. The collection of texts that relate to fundamentals we share: from the stars, the sun, and the sky to our closer world of the earth, with its weathers, landscapes, and cities. In different ways, the writers unfold the intricate wonders of the physical and social world, while some also address the radical change we face – and the urgency of taking action.
