''Se lo spazio ha confini, vi è un altro spazio al di fuori di quei confini?'' (Bernard Tschumi, ''Architecture and Disjunction'', 1994)

Aisling Hedgecock ha creato per “RomaDesign+ 2007” un disegno ‘site-specific’ che usa lo spazio architettonico all'esterno dell’Accademia Britannica, su Via Gramsci. Una sorta di temporanea anomalia superficiale sulla facciata progettata da Sir Edwin Luytens nel 1911. L’intervento combina l’interesse dell’artista per l’architettura, le strutture organiche, i sistemi organizzativi, e gli spazi storici immaginati.

L’elemento determinante del progetto è per l’artista la considerazione dell’ambiente ‘quotidiano’ immediatamente circostante. A ciò si affiancano altri interessi, dal metodo costruttivo romano dell’opus reticulatum al progetto di Joseph Beuys per Documenta 7 del 1982, ''7000 Oaks''. Il dialogo fra monumento, permanenza e temporalità è un interesse permanente nella pratica artistica di Hedgecock.

‘If space has boundaries, is there another space outside those boundaries?’ (Bernard Tschumi, Architecture and Disjunction, 1994) For “RomaDesign+ 2007” Aisling Hedgecock creates a site-specific drawing using the existing architecture of The British School at Rome on Via Gramsci. A temporary surface anomaly drawn on the façade, which was designed by Sir Edwin Luytens in 1911. It combines an interest in architecture, organic structures and systems of organization, and imagined historic spaces.

The artist’s primary influence for the project will be consideration of the immediate ‘everyday’ environment. This is furthered by wider interests; from the first century building method of 'opus reticulatum' or ‘net-work’, to Joseph Beuys 1982 Documenta 7 project, ''7000 Oaks''. The dialogue between monument, permanence, and temporality is an ongoing preoccupation within Hedgecock’s practice.
