'9 to 5 residency'-
a daily changing use of space.
3 - 16 November 2009

This project is the result of an open call for a series of one day residencies in PS².

Artists, architects and creative practitioners were invited to sent in a proposal, how they would use the space between 9am and 5pm; for performance, research, office work, hide out, craft workshop, studio, cinema, museum, living room, shop or observatory…

The proposals received were all very different, surprising and intense. They play with the notion of a semi private/public space, the relationship to passers-by and the exposure to the street. They address the question, how an activity shapes a space and how the environment shapes the activity- may it be a yoga class, research into Spanish Art History or drawings with tape.

‘9 to 5 residency’ follows the bureaucratic pattern of a working day and imitates the ritual of opening hours in galleries and museums.
Art production and art distribution however doesn’t follow the same pattern. Creative processes normally require private space and individual time schedules. All residencies will therefore have a performative and staged layer, but will still give an insight into the work process, the various set-ups of a workplace and of course the individual work.
For more information see www.pssquared.org/9-5residency.php or contact 07733457772.

Opening hours: Mon-Sat 11am – 5pm.
PS²is supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
