As part of An Eminent Takeover (of 195 Lavender Street) in September 2014, these interventions here were part of my ongoing Love Hotel series.

The street-level Love + Hotel work consisted of the 2 LED signs installed in a former Interior Design store. It is interesting to note that the blinking lights attracted different personalities into the space (from the art lover to a businessman trying to book a room for the next night's stay). When the space is locked up but the signs remain blinking, the inaccessibility to the imagined room created another dialogue altogether. 

Within a KTV room, The Distance Between My Bed & Yours II echoed the emptiness of the social space that the room used to be. Across the hallway, one of the two functioning KTV lounges was still operating, framing a disjunct between the vacant space & former. 

In the meantime, in Kings gallery in Melbourne, the bottles of powder, moisturizer & hair tonic together with the Vacancy sign made up of the installation of The Distance Between My Bed & Yours III. The objects were physically transferred from the KTV lounge to Melbourne (as part of Superfictions: As If in Limitless city: abstraction, materiality and authenticity). This show was co-curated by Peter Hill & myself. 

For a couple of nights, the hollowed, virtual neon signs flashed across two spaces in two cities, resonating the critiques of how sex sells, certain spaces & cities are always 'open' for business, & the search for love is never-ending.
