Tie up loose ends, Installation, May 2014

Stretch out 100 meters of rope around a building, from the ground floor to the roof, running across the exhibition space, circling the flats above, tying the ends in a knot, and cutting the rest.

The gallery space is on the ground floor of an apartment building. It has two openings, one door to the street and one window to the back courtyard.

The rope draws the perimeter of the building section – from the lower level to the upper one- containing the different types of habitable spaces.

The proposal aims to enlarge the limits of the exhibition space to its architectural framework.

The neighboring community agrees to intervene just for one day during the opening. Then the rope remains untied inside the exhibition, along with the photographic documentation of the installation.
