Abstract

Tomoko Takahashi is a visual artist who was commissioned in 2006 to make a piece about the University of Warwick. A former Turner Prize nominee her work is premised on collecting discarded objects within designated ‘sites’ or ‘ecologies’, and arranging them in the form of an installation. However, her practice emerges as much more than simply an artwork exhibited in a gallery space, involving in fact months of interaction within the network of ‘users’ of whose lives she has temporarily become a part. The article demonstrates not only the way in which the event of her residency became a time-based performance, based on an itinerant practice, but also how a concern with ‘unwanted objects’, indeed ‘waste’, might relate both to the knowledge economy of a university and to broader notions of technological production and consumption.
