Narrative Space

So we've been talking a lot about alternative for gallery spaces for art to exist (the streets, deserts, people, actions, ect.). I've been pretty interested in the place where a narrative (as art) exists.

Susan Triester is an artist who has an alter ego called Rosalin Brodsky, who is a time traveller. Susan exhibits various costumes and memrobilia from rosalind's travels, but i think the most interesting aspect of the work is the narrative itself. The characters and situations she has created. What interests me more is where that narrative as an artwork exists.

I guess it does exist in the objects and costumes she exhibits. It also exists in the website she made about the project and any writing she has done about it. I think the most interesting place it exists is in the minds of everyone who has heard of the narrative. Just people hearing and knowing about these fictional events and characters is the space they exist as an artwork. I'm not sure if I'm expressing this very well, but i think it's pretty amazing
