2009 IDEA Journal
IDEA
Proposals respond to the provocation Interior Territories: exposing the critical interior in order to elicit emerging interior discourses influenced by explorations into contemporary spatial, material and performative practices.
What are the critical issues facing environments and societies that can be explored around the ideas of interior territories? We suggest that within increasingly homogenised and globalised public and private interiors, concepts of territory that infer relationships with located place and field can provoke new relationships concerning spatial practices and material and immaterial ecologies.
The IDEA JOURNAL 2009 exposes the engagement of interior practice in contemporary ecological, cultural and economic systems. The scholarly accounts of writing and projects in Interior Territories move across disciplinary perspectives and temporal and political systems to express an open-ended enquiry into an expanded territory of the interior.
