Abstract

Cultural geography has a long and fruitful tradition of working at the intersections between geography and performance art: in this piece we build upon this by considering how artistic practice can shed light on the housing crisis via a focus on quotidian practices of housing design. Here, we focus on Anne Tallentire’s exhibition Material Distance, which took place in 2022–23 at the John Hansard Gallery, Southampton, UK. A conceptual artist working with moving image, installation, performance and photography, Tallentire’s work has frequently addressed issues of spatial cognition, homemaking and transience. Material Distance extends this interest by foregrounding issues of housing size, adopting the abstract forms of representation – floorplans, measurements, technical drawings – which professionals use for determining the material and physical requirements of domestic inhabitation. Contrasting abstract and lived experiences of home, and comparing housing constructed on post-war council estates with some of the smaller homes recently converted from industrial or retail premises, Tallentire’s work invites us to develop a critical awareness of dimensionality through an embodied encounter with art that is relational, performative and experiential.

客厅:安妮·塔林的《物质距离》

文化地理学在研究地理与行为艺术的交叉点方面有着悠久而富有成效的传统:在这篇文章中，我们通过考虑艺术实践如何通过关注日常的住房设计实践来揭示住房危机，以此为基础。在这里，我们聚焦于Anne Tallentire的展览Material Distance，该展览于2022-23年在英国南安普顿的John Hansard画廊举行。作为一名概念艺术家，他的作品涉及移动图像、装置、行为和摄影，经常涉及空间认知、家居和短暂性等问题。“物质距离”通过突出住房大小问题，采用抽象的表现形式——平面图、测量、技术图纸——来扩展这种兴趣，专业人员使用这些形式来确定家庭居住的物质和物理要求。对比抽象和生活的家庭体验，并将战后议会住宅与最近由工业或零售场所改建的一些较小的住宅进行比较，Tallentire的作品邀请我们通过与艺术的具体接触来发展对维度的批判意识，这种接触是关系的、表演的和体验的。
