Patrick Lowry

Travelodge is a work developed during a residency at MENTIME Cheltenham. Selected from the 2011 Open West shortlist, MEANTIME invited back. Patrick Lowry for his second residency. Patrick was the first MT/OW resident in 2009 when he constructed a life-size reproduction of the basement stairwell at The Exchange, Penzance in the upper space at MEANTIME.This new work for MEANTIME, the construction of replicated accommodation offered by international budget-hotels, based on research and recollection, provides an opportunity to consider the concepts surrounding such places – travel and temporality, distance and proximity, architecture and design, collisions of domestic/personal and public/impersonal space – and suggests how form can come to displace the ideas they purport to represent.
