A commission for Arthouse,
Austin, Texas,........................ .................Feb-April 2011...................... ..............................The former Theatre The Astoria in London was a demolished site of scaffold and rubble
as this project opened. The scaffold was based on original architects plans of The Astoria..............................................................Within the structure local
bands were invited to rehearse as the public toured the space, the work would
be different every moment as three acts featured daily in three-hour slots.
(Featuring In total 128 rehearsals) The temporary signifier of the scaffold was
designed to dovetail with the preparatory practice time of the musicians:..................................‘Like the architecture, the human
components of the project are meant to represent the idea of process as well.
The call for bands released in January specified that the space was meant for
rehearsal use only,’.....................................
