Abstract

ABSTRACT:TellTale was a temporary, site-specific installation commissioned for the Adelaide Festival in Australia. It comprised a series of interventions located on a riverfront esplanade that had a long history of recreational use as well as cruising and violence against gay men. The installation altered the activity in a section of the park and gave greater visibility to a range of social and sexual encounters. It marked the seam between authorized and unauthorized activity, highlighting the complexity of uses of public space. As George Chauncey observed in Gay New York, gay men "appropriate for themselves spaces that were not marked as gay, and construct a gay city in the midst of, yet invisible to the dominant city." This article describes the TellTale installation in the context of artists' and architects' explorations of Queer Space in the 1990s. It seeks to reflect critically on ephemeral and overlooked parts of cultural heritage and reveal more substantial accounts of these histories

标记时间与空间批判性阅读

摘要:TellTale是为澳大利亚阿德莱德艺术节设计的一个临时装置。它包含了一系列的干预措施，这些干预措施位于河滨广场上，该广场有着悠久的娱乐用途，也有巡游和针对同性恋男子的暴力行为。该装置改变了公园的一部分活动，并为一系列社交和性接触提供了更大的能见度。它标志着授权和未经授权的活动之间的界限，突出了公共空间使用的复杂性。正如乔治·昌西(George昌西)在《纽约同志》(Gay New York)中所观察到的那样，男同性恋者“为自己占据了没有被标记为同性恋的空间，并在主导城市中建造了一个同性恋城市，但却看不见它。”这篇文章描述了在20世纪90年代艺术家和建筑师对酷儿空间的探索背景下的TellTale装置。它试图批判性地反思文化遗产中短暂和被忽视的部分，并揭示这些历史的更实质性的描述
