Description
As the final element of the project Loughran has collaborated with The Saxifrage School, an organization which aims to offer a university education for $5,000 a year within vacant neighborhood spaces by 2014, to open ‘The General Will’ in an empty pub space opposite PNC Park on the Northside. During the month of May and June a series of lectures, talks, and events will take place in this public pedagogical project which confuses the notion of education as sited only within prescribed places. In employing varied material in this project under the term ‘Squatter Sovereignty’ Loughran alludes to the potential for these spaces and for ‘squatting’ to take place in multiple spaces at multiple moments. In questioning what is the relationship between them the viewer is invited to consider both the contrasts and parallels between such sites and their potential in becoming.
