Social Spaces
Before I get to the feeback and critiques, I'm posting part two of the installation shots. This is the view when you walked in the door. The first post shows the unseen walls to the right--what Asher referred to as the interruptions in the wall plane--where I hung the pinhole photographs.
Detail, Social Spaces
In my reviews and crit classes, the central structure was referred to as the "sex hut." While I was installing in the middle of the night, the roving security guard thought it was an outhouse. The structure was made of luan and 1x2s, stained black on the outside and red on the inside. The roof is made of corrugated polycarbonate. There's a handle on the outside of the door, and a latch on the inside for privacy. There's also a small bench on the inside.
Social Spaces, Detail
The surrounding structure was modeled after a French parterre garden. The four plants in the corners are real, and the underlayment is crushed cocoa shells, sold as mulch for gardens. Most people noticed the chocolate-like smell, but were unable to identify it specifically. There was also a smell to the clipped hedges, which were strawflower; to me, they smelled a bit of curry.
Social Spaces, Detail
I went to Elysian Park, and using latex gloves, I gathered up two trash bags full of litter off the ground, taking about 1/10th of one percent of the trash there. Once back at A402 I separated the detritus by type, and tried to arrange it symetrically, in keeping with the French garden style.
