Norah Dineen has transformed former DDR offices into a nursery of play, exploring further the fe/male through space krafting. Preferring the background/buildings of art fairs than the objects within which the art market exists, She is extending further, this time in her art practice, the art “space/raum” to the windows and is hoping to draw and map the motion from indoors to outdoors.
What she is doing could be described as a sort of teenage poster/join up the pockets of space/portal connecting/wall collages/internal graffiti. The site itself will be knocked down and so the work will no longer exist next month. This time limitation and sell by date on the work has brought about a greater sense of motion for the artist in terms of feeling that she is making in the day. She has been making with the understanding that nothing is forever and that sometimes she has to let go of what images reveal to her and how in making and mapping and wandering she is in the world. Just like when we click the x button on a window on our virtual windows, she builds and researches…drawing through painting and collaging throughout these spaces and in the end she will press the x button and the windows and screens (walls) will be gone again. “I always think that I will come back to a particular search on the internet…but I never do…just like how I meet so many (un)interesting people but I don’t come back to them either. Some things are static in life…despite my best efforts. With this work, I don’t want to hold onto art objects. I don’t want to hold onto art. I just want to have fun. I want complete freedom to be in buildings and connect up the rooms in the way I know how. To use my hands and to use whatever I have today. Be it food packages, paint, tinfoil, old wrapping paper, old memories, spray paint. Whatever remains and sticks will be in peoples memories and their existence in what will become after the exhibition a non-space”.
