The Blue Room is the creation of a space within space.  A new room is installed through an act of subtracting all that is ‘aggregated background’ by the addition of non-discriminating colour.  An implied block of colour volume is conceptually placed in three locations at street level.  All background elements take on the colour and fade into the subtraction.  As a result, the new positive space appears in its 3-dimensional implication.  

From a distance, the space acts as signifier of the void, a robust burst of colour that breaks out as a solid from the aggregated surrounding material and tonal palette.  From within, it is an experiential void, a momentary visceral separation from context.  As a critique of the persistent exteriority of the planned public realm, an interiority is implied heightening the awareness to the “outside” of the typical Toronto street.
