Abstract | This paper explores the concept of character in city spaces, defined as the typical behaviour of a particular person or thing, extending this notion to suggest that spaces also possess personality. Space in this case is limited to the public realm, where accessible volumes are made up of surfaces, material, geometry, history, function, and potential affordances. These interventions form a creative collision whereby the personality of space and its classification is further interrogated through inhabitation and a material language, thus attempting a consciousness between the agent and space. Two case studies illustrate the application of this rubric to real spaces, presenting artistic interventions ‘in-vivo’ to ‘in-vitro’, from the city into the white cube of the gallery for closer inspection. These are: 01. ‘Liberty on the Liffey’, set on Dublin’s Liffey River, an experiment takes place on the site of a heterotopia for an artistic protest. |
