| Introduction | life between buildings is a group blog documenting the creative process of a collaborative project between five Australian creative artists working in various disciplines – sound/music, visual arts and writing. Our collaboration involves the creation of site-specific art work. Our first project centres on a two-week artists’ residency in April/May 2008 at Bundanon. The name of our project derives from Danish architect Jan Gehl’s classic treatise on the interplay between public space and social life. Central to Gehl’s architectural practice is a consideration of design from a social point of view; his designs focus initially on people and how they interact within a particular space. His focus on the relationship between people and the built environment resonates strongly not only with our interest in exploring concepts of place and environment, but also our ideas about site-specific art. |
