Hello. We're artists working through collaborative social practice and creative research to understand the ways in which locality is shaped and enacted in the city.

Memory Lane

Scott Wayne Indiana set out on Memorial Day to map out the floor plan of his childhood home to try to coax some memories from the space.

Using public space for a large-scale mapping project might be an interesting way to work with some of the long grass around the city. Of course, putting something like masking tape down would be lost, but making paths by walking through the grass might be a different way of thinking about it. I want to spend more time outside soon.

    funny, i am going to do this on the vacant lot where my parents house once stood.

    the long grass is definitely a great material to work with!
