OUTSIDE ARCHITECTURE

OUTSIDE ARCHITECTURE is an artist-led collaborative group, with Tim Renshaw, Bernice Donszelmann, Mary Maclean, Helen Robertson and Jo McGonigal.

What does it mean to be ‘outside’ architecture? Are there advantages?  Are there advantages in art’s non-functionality?  Can things be seen and said from a vantage point on the outside that might be overlooked or may not be possible from within, where function constrains?  What does building and construction mean when literal building and designing processes do not pertain? Space is never stable, neither are structures.  Layers of unintended potentiality emerge over time and use. This is also architecture but outside its discipline.
