The title
CURATING THE NORMAL has a double meaning. Borrowed from the field of art, the word curate, here, is initially a form of selection, organisation, analysis and presentation of examples under a
common scope: the cause of
unusual spatial experiences.
Furthermore, the expression
Curating the normal reveals the mechanism of art itself ,which is the defamiliarisation of the usual(the normal,the everyday).
Thus, in this thesis these
examples are presented and
analysed :
-examples of the filed of art that are spatial and cause interesting experiences (art installations)
--spaces that are used for practical purposes but have
unusual characteristics that make the stay in them strange and different
---everyday spaces which do not have unusual spatial characteristics but their analysis from a distant view
constructs a new narrative, difamiliarises them and gives them a new interpretation.
