Scotland + Venice: Dispatch 7 of 12

Tools of the Trade: Peter McCaughey

In this dispatch, anti-curator of The Happenstance, Peter McCaughey focuses on five principal tools, of the many tools and tactics used. All tools encouraged people to react, respond and engage. Most importantly they were quickly taken up by visitors and used by them for their own purposes. The garden, the armature, the tools and the tactics, were resources available to all who ventured in, and also those who were met when The Happenstance ventured out into Venice. A resource that continues to support activity in Venice to this day.

The image shows a circle of deckchairs in the garden of Pallazo Zenobio full of people sitting on them. The deckchairs  have words on them and a game is being played.
