Eavesdropping, 2014

Exhibited in May Meet In Mutual, Park Centre, Baxter Park, Dundee, August 2014 with Sogol Mabadi and Craig Thomson
Curated by MMIM (Emma Reid & Katie Reid)

Eavesdropping was an installation of three phrases in white vinyl on the glass windows of the Park Centre. The phrases had been dislocated from their original contexts and pointed towards potential interpretations. They read:

you’re allowed to touch this bit
I recognise that one
I like that

A view through a glass wall to a park. A man stands outside the glass wall, looking in. He is reading vinyl handwritten style text on the glass. From the inside, where the photo is taken from, it is more difficult to read but the text says: you're allowed to touch this bit
