I FINALLY HAVE A DESK! I have been soooooo worried about obtaining this crucial piece of furniture for my installation, but now I need not worry anymore.
Last night, I was super productive. Not only did I secure the perfect desk for my show, but I also had a good conversation about my spacial predicament. I have decided to fill the space as best as I can with the furniture that I have. The focal point will be the reception desk. For the overall aesthetic I want the room to be minimalistic - just enough to imply a lobby without taking away from the game itself. I think if I pull the bookshelves off the wall and use the space behind them as the "back" of the hospital it should work in the performance. So far I am happy with my decision to recreate the lobby as a stage using theatrical props. Hopefully this will all hold up once I get the furniture in there and see how it looks. It is hard to visualize things in a space without actually having everything already.
**side note regarding the book shelves: I wanted to have them filled with pictures of files, but after printing some of the images I had I realized that it would look cheesy. So I am keeping with my minimalist idea and leaving them empty. After all I just want to imply a lobby, not recreate a complete one since the art is really about the game and not solely about the space...
Also, on another note, Sara is going to bring her pastels of animals down from Sacramento so I can hang them in the gallery. What veterinary lobby is complete without cozy images of cute little furries??
