Lookout
Lookout, bookwork 2010. Site Photograph and Installation View, Site Gallery.
Lookout is a limited edition bookwork that focuses on the space between two prominent residential buildings on the edge of Sheffield city centre - The Velocity Tower, a 22 storey new build, which stands unfinished and only fractionally occupied and the Hanover Tower, a 1960s social housing block. Both buildings offer expansive views of the city, a much sought after commodity, yet they appear both rooted and detached from the space below, suggesting a sense of distance, stillness and gazing; a state of inertia, suspense and possibility. These high rise buildings mark the boundary of the commercial, economic and cultural hub of the city and the out-skirting suburbs, and map a shift in ideology and aspiration.
The book comprises new writing, documentary photographs and extracts from essays, poetry, individual memories, found images and fragmented references to wide sources associated with the boundaries of urbanism, culture and access, which are interrupted by a pictorial archive of high points, lookouts, watch towers, radio towers, tree houses and platforms.
Art Sheffield 2010, Life: A User's Manual was a city-wide contemporary art event showcasing artwork by locally, nationally and internationally based artists. It took place across venues in Sheffield from 6 March until 1 May 2010. Netherlands-based curators Frederique Bergholtz and Annie Fletcher of If I Can't Dance I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution collaborated with curators and artists in the city to select a dynamic and varied programme for the event.
