Transforming Space – The Gates Factory – Part 1

This video/audio exploration is entitled Transforming Space and consists of three short pieces. This project documents the Gates Factory demolition in Denver and attempts to present or question issues of urban development, architectural memory and historic preservation. Eventually if I continue with the project, I would like to present many different perspectives on these complicated issues. In this first version I include interviews with a demolition employee who has a personal history with the factory (part 1) and also an artist who finds inspiration from this space (part 2). I conclude the piece by showing the demolition of the southern building (part 3).
This factory is being transformed physically by demolition and redevelopment but also metaphysically through visual art.
