A particular interest informing the collaborative group Red Tape Projects was the investigation of social spaces and the influencing of subjects' behaviour by the socially created signifiers present within those spaces.
Tues Feb 8th, 5.15pm, University of Leeds
Speakers: Stuart Russell Brown and Gwilym Sainsbury
Abstract: A particular interest informing the collaborative group Red Tape Projects was the investigation of social spaces and the influencing of subjects' behaviour by the socially created signifiers present within those spaces. Each project involves the selection and inscription of these social signifiers upon their respective spaces and the occasional observation of any changes in behaviour. The projects draw heavily upon the notion of détournement as a process to radically reverse and thereby expose the spectacular significance of a previously unchallenged and homogeneously incorporated signifier. The intervention utilising hazard barrier tape in St George's Field (the cemetery at the University of Leeds) was one such project.
