From the pages of my notebooks - Ideas that got the chop.


Vacant Lots

March 4th, 2010

Dublin is full of empty retail spaces. As was the fashion, they all have full glass fronts and no letterbox provision. A gap was left under doors for the postman to slide mail in.
It would be great to slide in a flat packed object that could be raised inside, just as they do with ships in bottles. Maybe something organic like seeds in a planter. Maybe a boat. Maybe fill the room with a huge balloon. Or maybe file charcoal dust into the space and blow it in.
I never have the time to do these things. But art is ideas and these are mine.
Edit June First 2010: I’m glad this was an unused idea – it seems someone else had the same idea, but they saw it through.

A graphic designer, who has little spare time but uses it cycling, taking photos, drawing, being a dad, talking shite. A list which is of course in no particular order (so as not to offend anyone)
Incidentally this is an aside from A Worthy Cause which is Lovely Ronan's Nom de Plume.
