Thrown-togetherness, 2015 : exegesis

Research output: Creative WorksTextual Works

Abstract

Thrown-togetherness draws conceptual precedents from both cultural geography and contemporary art theory and practice (Blunt and Dowling 2006; Perry 2013; Racz 2015). The project emerged as a response to this book's call for chapters, and was developed subsequently as a major work within a Master of Art at the UNSW College of Fine Arts. The driver from cultural geography is Doreen Massey's concept of space - including the home-space - as a thrown-together. Her propositions are that homes: are produced by relationships between the human and other-than-human, which are multi-scalar and stretch beyond the home-site; are spaces of multiplicity and heterogeneity in which diverse trajectories meet and co-exist; and are always in the process of being made and remade, never finished or closed. Home is therefore multiply lived and open to multivalent meanings and experiences.
