This project is five tiny triangle trailers that constitute a train bar which contains multiple functions, holds a narrative of retelling an otherworldly life of the things in glass cup based on their motions’ moments through a making drinks process that presented on each trailer space in surrealism form. The site is located on Lancefield Quay, while as trailer’s movable feature, it can flexibly move to any other places. For defining ‘host’ in this project, I identified the ‘host’ in space and object two aspects, considering the host as container to hold our everyday life. The trailer space as host to provide areas for holding our daily activities such as a date, teatime, and rest. While for objects indoors, I intersect supernatural concept, considering they are alive, have soul, waiting for other interactions to give them a unique characteristic, define functions or form a metaphor as parasite in their body, which could be showed in their special appearance, and they become the owner host of this space.

The path of study begins with following Elizabeth Grosz’s perspective of the thing has its own life and characteristics by human interactions, the project is intended to rebuild our intimate relationship with everyday objects, as the less awareness of objects in our daily life can be intensified by observing the things in surrealism that make the familiar things marvellous, which rethinking on Daniel Miller’s ‘the humility of thing’ that it’s often we do not see things, and based on Ben Highmore pointed out ‘everyday is where the marvelous exists’, transforming daily moments in our everyday objects into surrealist space.

This project is located on 520 Sauchiehall Street, which is an archival space displaying iron art expressions on the past and in contemporary. The main design concept is retaining some traditional features and original appearance from the building, mixing with some modern elements, creating different experiences and exhibition ways for people interact in the space. The space is divided into two main sessions, in front is to show the expression of iron in contemporary art and the space will more contains people’s engagement. Another in behind is linking iron collections from the past and with some installations and transforming some 2d archives into 3d to create different experiences for visitors. And in the middle part of the building is a zone of transition to link these two parts. In this outcome presentation, I will show 7 spaces which are made a journey together and tried to make connection in each space as well as link the block characteristics.
