“To work/to be in three spaces/places at once”
Kay Abude
20 Sept → 24 Sept 2010

Three workspaces were recreated inside West Space, Kay Abude's studio, her home bedroom, and the office of the Victorian College of the Arts.

Elements from the three locations were appropriated, and fundamental objects were brought into the space to construct a minimal installation reminiscent of a film set. The performative piece explored art and life as simultaneous processes through the occurrence of work. The artist lived inside the space and within the Melbourne Central complex for five days.
