Abstract

Julia Goetz // Third Space // April 16, 2026 Third Space explores the intersection of furniture design, sculpture, and performance, creating a third space that fosters intentional human connection. In an increasingly dematerialized world, the act of gathering face to face to converse and share presence has become vital to our collective humanity. Through its materiality and mixed-media construction, the table functions not only as an object but as a catalyst for intimate gatherings grounded in intention and participation. By embedding the maker’s hand within the hardwood structure, foregrounding the physical process of creation, the work emphasizes the value of tactile engagement, lived experience, and communal exchange. Third Space positions art as an active, shared event that is an embodied practice of living that unfolds in real time.
