About Life Between Buildings

life between buildings is a group blog documenting the creative process of a collaborative project between five Australian creative artists working in various disciplines – sound/music, visual arts and writing.

Our collaboration involves the creation of site-specific art work. Our first project centres around a two-week artists’ residency in April/May 2008 at Bundanon, a rural property on the Shoalhaven River where Arthur Boyd lived and worked.

The name of our project is derived from Danish architect Jan Gehl’s classic treatise on the interplay between public space and social life. Central to Gehl’s practice is the consideration of design from a social point of view; his designs focus on people and how they interact within a particular space. By emphasising the relationship between people and the built environment, Gehl’s designs become a means to an end rather than an end in themselves. This resonates strongly with our interest in collaborative practice, exploring concepts of place and environment, and our ideas about site-specific art.
