Archiving Memories LIFT Project

Introduction to archiving:
The Process of Art: Time may continue, come back to me
We began by visiting the LIFT archive in Goldsmiths University, the artist of the LIFT project gave us an experience of archival materials. One piece in particular, the Urban Dream Capsule installation/performance piece took on relevance with providing us with the basis of creating our own using different multi media process.
From the 6th to the 9th of June as a group we have been working with Sue, Eddie and Dan from LIFT (London International Festival Of Theater) creating an installation that explores archives, process and memory. Getting our inspiration from Urban Dream Capsule from LIFT''s Living archive, where a collection of documents and pictures from the first twenty years of LIFT'S history, and for the last three days we have been creating our own archive in the windows of Chestnut Grove main entrance. The work was made quickly and in layers, and includes paintings, drawings, video and performance. To follow in the footsteps of the performers of the Urban Dream Capsule we created a space inside the window where we would call it ours, using a mixture of personal objects.
The function of the glass cases evolved from being visual exhibition space, where a layered document of a collective work in progress and to a space of performance.
