Lucy Orta

Date: 13 July 2002 - 5 October 2002

Lucy Orta transformed Stroom into a temporary 'laboratory' for discussion, ideas and experimentation, connecting political and artistic ideas and forging links between the hopes and the fears of everyday life.
"I wish to be present in the social arena as a catalyst between utopia and reality. I call this Instigator Sculpture." (from an interview with Andrew Bolton, "The Super Modern Wardrobe", V&A publications 2002)

"The Dairy"
Online workshop (September 14 through 19, 2002)

"All living beings together produce an enormous amount of refuse. This mass is larger than the total mass of all living beings. Refuse produced by one species might be a resource for another species. Human technology starts with the conversion of things found into things useful." (Yona Friedman, Documenta XI, Kassel, 2002).
