(Artist Heidi Kayser sets up a miniature white picket fence on her dock in Fort Point Channel as a part of the Remodeling Project)
“The Remodeling Project is a performative micro-environment that investigates ideas of public versus private activities in daily life, shared ideas of home, and boundaries between social and personal identities. Throughout the month of May, a small floating platform located between the Summer Street and Congress Street bridges will become a home base for an evolving narrative of constructed reality.
The floating platform will be continually ”remodeled” into familiar environments such as an office, home, fitness center or backyard. Artist Heidi Kayser will kayak to the platform to carry out a month-long series of unscheduled guerilla interventions. Crowd sourced survey data will be analyzed to present shared ideas of “home” and “social identity,” while the use of video blogging, surveillance video and social media create an environment that is at once documentary, voyeuristic, and participatory. The Remodeling Project takes influence from perspectives on the blurring of art and life from the Fluxus and Happening movements in performance art, and situates constructed reality (private life made public) within a larger life context.”
