Temporary Studio at the ICA with I.D.E.A.London 2005
Interactive Residency
ICA, The Mall, 13-17 June 2005
Commenting on notions of commission, affect and representation, Flávia Müller Medeiros will respond to the role of the contemporary art institution as a place that encourages and nurtures artistic production.
Flávia has take on an interactive residency in the context of I.D.E.A.London, setting up a small studio area inside the ICA. She is committed to produce at least one artwork a day, influenced by the ICA environment. Any interaction, conflict and negotiation between Flávia and the ICA staff, visitors, and the I.D.E.A.London curators will be embraced. The work to be produced is unknown until it begins being made in the ICA. It may be displayed at the studio area or shown to those interested. After the project a small booklet documenting the work will be created.

Day II: ICA Cake Tuesday 14 June
Negotiation with the ICA cook whether it was viable for me to bake a cake at the ICA kitchen at 5pm oclock, right after I had the idea. It was not possible as I was not dressed properly regarding safety regulations. Although the cook could provide the proper jacket, I had to be wearing leather shoes and a baseball hat.
