the door lives elsewhere April 16, 2006

it’s been three days now since the opening of Normal Space and an interesting tidbit of information I haven’t shared until this point is, what did I do with my door?!

As you know, most rooms have doors. My studio is no exception. When I started plotting out Normal Space as a ‘gallery’ (wall), one of my first thoughts was “What do I do with my door?” Obviously I didn’t want to leave it on the hinges, and subsequently loose 3ft. of wall space for the door to stay open during open hours. Pretty simple solution: remove the door off the hinges.door-lives-elsewhere.jpg

I did exactly that, and moved it into our library/living room where it has been ever since. Three days and nights I have operated without a door, which is a slightly odd feeling never being able to seclude yourself completely or having that signifier for privacy or contemplation available when you need it.

of course I have always considered my door a part of my Space, even if it is on the outside. and having removed it, I have noticed one significant backlash: my studio is significantly colder, especially since it is still getting down to 5C/40F these nights, so once the sun sets it tends to get pretty chilly in Normal Space.

brrrrrrrrrr…
