2006. Arnoud Schuurman. STICKIES (theoretical data)

 

Public space as a given; demands for public comments on how to behave, where to have access to, how to organise a space, how to move through it and in what desired speed. For my project I would like to playfully add notes to the city that emphasise and question these aspects.

DEFINING ‘STICKIES’

Stickies were introduced quite a while ago. The invention was the result of a mistake in producing a paper glue mixture. It turned out to be a big hit and is nowadays widely used throughout the world by office clerks, housewo/man and those with a bad memory.

They function as some kind of message tag that can be put to stick on virtually any surface. The messages generally contained by these usually vary from small remarks as of lists of not to forget items/events/ideas on the personal level.

They won’t fail their task and keep being there in the face. For some they will work, for some a whole wood emerges and consumes little to zero extra attention. PROPOSAL I propose to make a series of oversized notes, or so called stickies, to ad comments and suggestions to public space and mount them at various places along the axis of Paseo de la Castellana.

My intent is to make philosophical remarks on public space, in order to confront the public with ideas/suggestions that sparkle routines and overcome barriers. To stimulate dialogue between people of different backgrounds will be the key issue.

These notes could contain content about matters, spaces, events, taboo’s and things people generally do or intent not to do. The notes will be about its direct surroundings, as well as local and global contemporary tendencies.

The matter of expression will have a slight sense, or suggestion of politics, advertisement and activism. It will be neither of them and all of them in the meantime.

The message could have a geopolitical sense, might sound like commercial and would like to be activist’ demand, but will remain the autonomous artistic realm of a philosophical message.

The content that will be on the notes will be clear beforehand and could be revised. ‘Smile to foreigners’ is a statement I like in particular, since it addresses such a contemporary social/politically issue.

PRESENTATION

The notes could be presented in various ways.

It will be a crucial thing of how they will be conducted to the spectator. It could be a huge sheet mounted on the 7th floor of a large building, a nagging sign in a badly functioning public spot, a square where people hang out but also a humble little note pasted on top of the stairs before entering the metro-tube. All a big difference of look and potential content.

I have not been in the city of Madrid yet, so I wouldn't know what would be possible and 'asking' for a intervention. I think of Madrid as a rather big city with broad squares and large avenues.

According to this reference I am pretty much assured that there must be a potential social setting for some critical note, absurdistic statement or cheerful and positive messages.

2006. Arnoud Schuurman. STICKIES (technical data)

 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

The technical requirements depend strongly on the possibilities that the project offers such as location, amount of space available and conditions for implementing the stickies in a given area. Permission will be needed from municipality and owners of buildings to make this project possible. The project’s shape may vary in material use from a big sheet of cardboard glued onto a surface to hardboard sign mounted onto a construction to support it’s weight and surface onto a wall, signpost or given structure. I have years of experience in making constructions however for this project it might be wise to hire a local craftsman to materialise the stickies. The stickies should be mounted properly. It needs to be wind proof and it will have to be waterproof.

I will coordinate the montage of the stickies myself with the help of a local contractor.

I don’t know if vandalism is such an issue as it is in The Netherlands. As long as something looks good, people would respect it.

To be short I need: -A list of available locations that would like and be suitable for a mounted sticky-A local craftsman to make the signs.-A team of local contractor’s-A scaffold, If a location demands it

I could be no more specific than that this until locations would be clear .

If it will be selected I will make a more elaborate proposal for some specific location in the Madrid Abierto’s framework. It could be a good idea to visit Madrid to look for locations and think about comments/sugestions, depending on the available resources.

2006. Arnoud Schuurman. TRANSLUCID VIEW (published text)

 The project Translucid view consists of photographic interventions in a series of so called ‘muppies’, where each individual muppi will be loaded with the image of the immediate environment behind it. The interventions will be located in the area of the Paseo de la Castellana, Paseo de Recoletos and Paseo del Prado.

The interventions will be framed views, with just a slight distinction from reality in a subtle way. They allow users of public space to engage as a participant giving them the possibility to observe the change of reality with the work in time.

People that frequent the environment of the interventions more than once will notice these changes. The conditions such as light and weather on the moment when the photo was taken will remain the same, while the surrounding will change with the time of the day and the given weather.

‘Public space is a given thing; we wander through it, we make it our own and witness it change with time. ’

The muppi (Mobilier Urbain pour Publicité et Information; advertisment stands in public space) as an object is originally there to confront the public with information and illusions of things that do not exist in street life.

The commercial use of these objects makes them a dominant factor over the rest of public space.

Because posters are changed frequently, we never get the chance to look at the posters long enough to get the notion “we’ve seen it.” So our eyes in public space keep on being eagerly pulled to what we have not seen before.

The notion that this intervention will not be an advertisement might sparkle people to get to know what it is, for it will not be easily identifiable as art at first sight.

2006. Arnoud Schuurman (Cv)

LEIDSCHENDAM, NETHERLANDS, 1976LIVES AND WORKS IN: ROTTERDAM WWW.ARNOUD.IS.DREAMING.ORGWORK EXPOSED IN MADRID ABIERTO: TRANSLUCID VIEW

Arnoud Schuurman’s attempt to incorporate art in public space drives him to seek boundaries of experimental possibilities.

"I look constantly to renew a synergy of media and techniques. By this I get ideas that evolves into something refreshing. To visualize something immaterial such as time and space, light and darkness in an object or entity on itself, is for me the ultimate goal".

Mostly I look to plan my ideas for an application in public space. I find this aspect of our surrounding environment exciting, there evolves  for a public art project the possibility to come in touch with a public that is not necessarily out for being confronted with an artwork. I would like my installations to spin off a dialogue with the surrounding environment and architecture. Herein the work generates in its presence with existing surroundings a confronting imaginative force and is contact with public spontaneously and inevitable.’

He lives and works in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. He has exhibited and worked on various public art projects in The Netherlands and various other countries. Amongst them are: Canada, Mexico, Portugal, Cyprus, Belgium, Serbia and Montenegro.
