Non-Gallery spaces

In the Audiences lesson today we where discussing site and situation for our art work outside of the "white cube" gallery space. A first i wasn't to interested because in my work i always have so sort of gallery space in mind and don't consider any alternatives. But this has got me thinking what effect this would have on my work as well as ways in which thinking about other situations can inspire new work and push existing work in new directions. 

I liked some of the ideas Gary suggested in the discussion. Such as an idea of mapping out the city with ranger poles i think this could become both a performance/video as well as using the data collected 2 make drawings. 

Another idea was to draw out on the ground the contour lines themselves in some sort of reverse mapping.  I think this could produce some interesti

ng results as well be a way to engage with a different audience for example shoppers on Briggate or students in college. Not sure yet how the view would engage and to what extent but would be interesting to find out and to find out if there where different engagements with different types of audience?

I think this could be done in a number of ways paint, chalk, tape or even a projection from above. 

I still do think my work will be driven with the intention of being shown in a gallery of some kind as at the moment i want to engage with an Art audience. But i do think maybe working with other audiences will be a good tool in developing ideas i have and maybe in future projects i will want 2 engage with non art audiences and so looking at them now will only help.
