David Hullfish -

Based on detailed research into the city of Utrecht, 'What’s left to its own devices (On reclamation)' uses non-linear heuristic methods and experimental webs of information to draw links between the cities of Utrecht, and Slab City, California, USA. The outcome is a series of speculative displacement machines and functional proposals that ask basic questions about public space, conceived as a physical and/or conversational sphere: how are these produced? To what ends might they be colonized? How do they intersect the realization of personal freedoms? And how might ambiguous or unstable positions be opened up between them and ‘private’ spheres of thought or deed?

Dave Hullfish Bailey is based in Los Angeles. Recent exhibitions include Secession, Vienna, Santa Monica, Barcelona, both 2006, upcoming exhibitions include the Lyon Biennial. Casco will produce a new book leading out from this project and other works, to be published later in 2007.
