Cornelia Parker
1956
This piece came out of a series of works I was doing about cartoon deaths - things like, things falling off cliffs, things being run over
by a steam roller, things being blown up, shot full of bullets, like Roadrunner or Tom and Jerry. The garden shed came about because
I was trying to find something universal and archetypal and that we all identified with and that was familiar to us. It's not the house
but it's this kind of attic-y private place at the bottom of the garden which we put all our left-over stuff in. And so it seemed like a
depository rather than the place that you live. We took it out to the Banbury Army School of Ammunition, to their demolition
grounds where they do all these experiments with explosives and they were really keen to blow it up. I actually pressed the button
that detonated it.
The whole point of suspending it is to rob it of its pathos. After it was blown up and all the objects were lying on the floor, all very
distressed, they had a pathos and somehow putting it back in the air where they were a little while before, it sort of re-animates
them.
The title of the piece is called 'Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View'. It's a two-part title really. The 'cold dark matter' I really like
because obviously explosions have all kinds of connotations, dark ones being the most prominent. Also, 'cold dark matter' sounds
like a psychological state - a mood or an atmosphere or a depression - I like the sound of that. It's a scientific term: it was coined to
describe all the stuff in the universe you can't quantify, all the stuff they know is there but you can't see, which seemed a perfect
description. And then 'an exploded view' is the kind of diagram you get in technical manuals to describe how a car works or a bike or
a lawnmower, a very pragmatic laying out of stuff. And so that's what I was trying to do, to organise something tat was totally
beyond our control and emotional control.(Parker)

Rachel Whiteread
Contemporary artist
Rachel whiteread is an
English artist who
primarily produces
sculptures, which
typically take the form
of casts. Whiteread
was the first woman
to receive Britains
prestigious Turner
Prize in 1993) and is
recognized
internationally as one
of the leading
contemporary
sculptors for her
outstanding public
works.
Presence, a sense of place, relationships, and the power of the past are common themes in her work.
She is most famous for her pieces, Ghost and House, where she made plaster casts of the
interiors of London homes. These monumental yet ethereal sculptures generated discussion about
urban preservation. (House, a public-art commission made in a condemned East London terrace
house and exhibited in situ, was controversial enough that a local council destroyed it after just a few
months.)
Place(Village) is another
of her works, an
installation of 200 vintage
dollhouses lighted from
within and arranged on
stepped pedestals in a
darkened room. It
encourages voyeurism,
inviting viewers to peer
into one empty room after
another and comments on
the ongoing epidemic of
house foreclosures.

Fatima Mansions
Fatima Mansions was built in the post-war period as part of Dublin City
Councils inner city housing renewal programme. For the first three
decades, the residents of Fatima were relatively settled and part of the
typical working class community of the inner city area.
By the early eighties, Fatima had become one of the most notorious
local authority flat complexes in Dublin, even in Ireland. It was
synonymous with the worst social conditions of deprivation and
disadvantage, chronic levels of early school leaving and unemployment,
a magnet for anti-social behaviour, drug dealing and associated
criminality.

Stephs view
Regeneration
The problem with these plans is that they are focusing on the structure of the building as a
means of regenaration when actually they are ignoring many underlying social issues which
will cause the area to degrade again and again. Fatima mansions flats have already
undergone the regeneration plans and are no better for it, the same social issues cropping
up and Dublin City Council still plan on carrying out the ir plans with Dolphins Barn Flats and
have began demolishing Teresa's Gardens
