Make Room became an idea based upon the contradiction of how does an Artwork, exist in different places, to tour different locations without moving? Through our collaborative arts practice Glassball Studio, we thought of a MAKE Room as both an artwork and a spatial framework: a site-responsive structure that reflects the unique materials, people, and conditions of its making. The making of such a space, has collective contributions physically inscribed within the structure.

From the construction of a collaborative space emerges a form of conceptual mobility. While each MAKE Room is materially rooted and immobile, the underlying idea travels. This model resists the extractive logic of transporting materials, instead offering a methodology that benefits locality, responsiveness and the plurality of voices involved; all contributions and marks are different and valued.
