While the thought of power tools screaming full-tilt across the ACCA forecourt is compelling, the challenge of bringing light into the gallery has begun to capture my imagination.
There is a beautiful work by Olafur Eliasson called Your Sun Machine where Eliasson removes a circular section of the gallery roof and allows the sun (and presumably other elements) to enter the room.
Although I am not envisaging cutting holes in ACCA. I’m more interested in negotiating the architecture – investigating the affordances it offers. I’m starting to imagine the building as a large crucible, collecting energy and focusing it into a point deep inside it’s interior.
