An Introduction to Abandoned Work
Definitions
There are many well-known abandoned projects. Examples include Tatlins Tower; Perecs I Was Born ; Dickenss Edwin Drood ; Sternes Tristram Shandy ; The MP Edward Watkins incomplete Eiffel Tower at Wembley later renamed Watkins Folly; Barbara Hepworths sculptures The Family of Man ; Raymond Williamss historical epic People of the Black Mountains ; the artist John Martins plans for Londons sewage system; St. Thomas Aquinass Summa Theologiae (which he left unfinished in 1273 after a supernatural encounter); Sades 120 Days of Sodom ; Bizets Roma Symphony ; The M8 Bridge to Nowhere in Glasgow; the Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid in Tokyo; the nearly 100 unfinished giant Ferris Wheels dotted around the world; Charlotte Brontes collection entitled Unfinished Novels ; Tony Hancocks unaired Australian Sitcom Hancock Down Under ; Jean Sibeliuss Symphony No. 8 ; Alfred Hitchcocks Number 13 ; Orson Welless Don Quixote and Its All True ; Stanley Kubricks Napoleon ; the hotly anticipated companion novel to Stephanie Meyers Twilight vampire series, Midnight Sun ; almost all of the novels of Franz Kafka; Stravinsky and Dylan Thomass proposed collaborative opera; Eisensteins screenplay of Marxs Capital ; Thomas Mores The Four Last Things ; and so on
There are entire catalogues of abandoned work. The best are probably Henri Lefebvres extensive prose poem/collection The Missing Pieces and Harry Waldmans Scenes Unseen . The interest of a figure like Obrist is indicative of something significant. His statement is partly an official endorsement to the art world which in itself is a symptom of its ranging appeal across academic, arts and popular conversations but also a simple indication of the ubiquity of the act of abandonment. Obrist continues: There are many amazing unrealised projects out there, forgotten projects, misunderstood projects, lost projects, desk-drawer projects, realisable projects, poetic-utopian dream constructs, unrealisable projects, partially realised projects, censored projects and so on.
