There are 2 reasons why only part of the line has been installed. Firstly, the exhibition space of Kandos Projects is limited to what is visible from the street and the rest of the building is not normally open to the public. Secondly, we have not yet worked out whether, when it moves into three dimensional space, a straight line takes on the literal visibility of things in three-dimensional space, or whether it would retain the invisibility of things that belong in the realm of thought or imagination - if the latter, it may in fact be present throughout the building without being visible. (This question of the relationships between the space of thought and the space of the body is one that underlies this straight-line residency project.)
Available on a front window is information for visitors to read and take away. This explains the location of the line throughout the building in text and diagram:
• the text is a written description of where the line lies between the end on the floor inside the westerly door and the other other end at the join between wall and under-stair in the ground floor of the easterly shop. Download written description here. (The discussion of what we hope to achieve with these residencies can be found here.)
• the diagram shows where lines would be found in each room of the building. These can be cut out and folded-up to make a model of the building with the line.
