I used to care, and so I took up the job of running this shop for three years, and then I learnt to care even more.
To care for broken things, for unwanted things, for waste, for waste reduction, for people, for places, for stories, for charisma, for particularities, for design, for choosing, for responsibilities, for consequences. And to act upon that caring. And so this shop was a space for thinking through acting. Acting by creating, by trying out, by communicating, by liaising. Conceretely, I was hired to run a town-centre shop for an association that was already three years old and had three other sites going, mostly depot-type places. The space had been roughly renovated, and an light initial layout had been set up, but from there on it was a solo journey of budget-less creative construction. The shop's functionning was mostly autonomous, but I was still tied to the structure in certain regards (visual identity, overall organization, tone of communication...), so I did my best to work with that. |
