PROJECT: REPOSITORY OF DISCARDED IDEAS

Providing a landing place for the discarded idea - a repository for the abandoned and a celebration of the unacknowledged. Prior to and during the Public Arts Lab these artists will be collecting people’s discarded ideas in text form. Then they will transform the written ideas via an installation so that each individual idea is given the solidity and mass which it was metaphorically denied via its abandonment. This project is a commentary on the artistic process itself - as ideas are formulated and discarded – a process of self-censorship repeated until an idea sticks. Often there is no great logic to this process – and the discarded ideas are either forgotten or lay dormant. Discarded ideas can be emailed to discarded.ideas@gmail.com
