Through performatice action, installation and conversation, Fawcett
constructs a line of potential stretching for several kilometres
and passing through the Space Station 65 Gallery. With the help
of a professional surveyor and a high-powered drill, Jon creates
a formal action that situates the art space in relation to its surrounding
geography, both physically and socially. As the line passes through
the free space of the gallery it becomes a physical action. As it
passes into everyday space, it congeals/crystallises/manifests into
conversations.
"Formed in relationship to gallery based (esoteric) and street based
(popular) contexts, and grounded in everyday consciousness. The
creation of non-physical objects as an interference with the physical.
An interference with the social, negotiating boundaries of the accepted.
A revelation of the unseen, a manifestation of the non-manifest,
an opportunity for perceptual shifts to occur."
Caught in a Trap has been made possible through the generosity of
the liveartmagazine New Works Support Scheme, and DeWalt Power Tools.
Jon would like to thank Jo David of Space Station 65 for his help
in realising the project, and David Duchin for his administration
and management.
