Judith Rugg - ephemeral interventionist art

Exploring site-specific art. Judith Rugg
Ephemeral interventionist art.
Temporal spatial.
Short lived artworks.
Repositioning the boat in the market. To draw attention to the overlooked. ?which has the capacity to animate linger as a catalyst for memory an d debate. And confront, focus attention to the message and meaning of the work.
Timely project that functions in different contexts and intentions.
Pycho-geographical engagement (get the local fishing families to sign their names on the boat). Interrelationship of space are considered. The Beach as a cultural ritual. Winter visual and sound projections, inside and outside the boat.
Spatial orientation of the beach and sea desires a space of transience, where the authenticity of the past, presence and future come together. The Boat and fishermen live transiently on the sea and land, in many weathers. The fishermen are grounded and rooted in their profession on water.
Parallels: urban chaos and claustrophobia vs expanse of the sea.
Disconnection to vital resources or even abuse of vs  ...
Conflicts: expanding accessibility to produce globally vs extinction of vital resources.
Boat as Metaphor: filling an emptiness.
The boat installation: interplays between the internal and external site of in and out of place. Isolation and escape.
Interstitial border: Interstice is an empty space full of structure or matter, situated between structure..
Evoke tensions and contradictions? Within the changing sites of the boat in the market place, art in a boat plot. Focuses attention on the overlooked and significance.
