'Red' - Teresa and Dominique Hodgson-Holt, 'In Certain Places'

By: Dominique Hodgson holt

Our project ‘Red’ is a series of 3, one month residencies in 2 market towns and one city.  We have been commissioned by ‘In Certain Places’ to work in the St John’s Centre, Preston, for the first month.  This blog will follow our progress over the 3 months, where we will be encouraging local shoppers and retailers alike to collaborate with us in a series of synchronised performances in red.

# 1 [7 July 2009]

We have worked our socks off for the past two days.  Phew!!  Today we have had lots of spectators admiring our growing display of red clothes and accessories. In fact, one lady knocked on the glass door repeatedly and was determined to purchase our wears. We are getting to know our fellow retailers and shoppers and we are sensing a feeling of acceptance. Hopefully, as from Thursday we are open to the public and we will be able to engage them in our project.

This is our first collaboration as mother and daughter artists.  We have both graduated from the University of Central Lancashire in Fine Art and similarly have a fascination with people and human behaviour.  We enjoy the challenge of bringing together diverse collections of people, mostly strangers, in order to create a temporary community to perform simple, coordinated activities.  We intend to transform the mundane and ordinary into the spectacular.
