West Space
we sit comfortably in silence together
A site-responsive work by Joy Zhou unfolds in the West Space Window
Joy’s work, titled ‘we sit comfortably in space together’ forms part of their ongoing series of process-driven works grounded in active listening in public space, and interrogating power dynamics experienced within spaces and between people.
Here, Joy re-contextualises the boundaries between the West Space Window, gallery and office, shifting the line between (what – and who – is) ‘inside’ and ‘outside’. Joy looks to subvert the authority of the organisation, subtly transforming West Space from a space that presents to us, to an object itself, for us to perceive.
‘we sit comfortably in space together’ is activated by sonic intervention
