Gallery Footings Manifesto
Created Saturday 15th August 2015 by all those present on the gallery footings site.
Hi, I had a dream. I’ve just started seeing the trees as pillars. Put simply, I’m lonely - alone but for what the police officers call ‘undesirables,’ apart from you of course. There is a strong possibility that the may converge soon. In the absence of any other appropriate shelter, consider as an alternative, any basement that you can find.
It sounds like you have forgotten about me but I haven’t gone anywhere. We hope to be drunk, since we are here to taste wine. As yet, we have not applied any of our practical skills. The is a strong possibility that sometime in the future we could levitate the gallery footings and fold the two ends in to create a “U”-Shaped space with communal gardens at its heart. Creating new alternatives to interact with this space proves difficult when everyone is made out of concrete.
Hello could you please turn the music up? The patterns of human interaction become porous and vibrating. It would be nice if you noticed me sometimes. It’s short notice but would you like to perform tonight? Look forward to creating new alternatives.
You may not know yet but this place was a terrible place, a sad and vile place. Your initial proposal doesn’t consider what I am now. As it stands I am of little thought to most people. That is always repeated but of no importance. Can I ask what you think of me?
You may not know yet but this place brings you to another dimension. Put simply, I like the space as it is since it is started, unfinished and finished at the same time. It is essential to rest. It sounds a bit vague but one day everything will make sense. So sorry, but that’s what it is.
