Stacked Hotel Room

20 November 2002 – 26 January 2003

Part of an ongoing series, Stacked Hotel Room No. 10, 2002 involved the reorganisation of a hotel room interior done in private, only visible subsequently through photographs and video documentation. The coalescence of fixtures and fittings into a sculptural assemblage, to return to the order enjoyed by these objects before the artists’ occupancy, raises vital questions concerning the nature of all creative effort, let alone that manifested within the boundaries of innovative contemporary art. The loaded nature of hotel rooms – their in-between-ness, at once their loneliness and romantic connotations, their efficiency on one hand and their hopeless aspiration to the condition of ‘home’ on the other – makes them an ideal subject for such an existential project.
