After a lot of indecisive moments and questioning wether the impossible was challenging I finally settled on the February Challenge:
I challenge you not to think about art for a whole year.
Challenged by Paul Matosic
I questioned this challenge, it was obviously impossible, once you know not to think about some thing, you begin to do just that. I questioned wether this was in fact challenging because it was impossible, or wether it was incredibly challenging because of its impossibility. The decisions came when one of my friends suggested that the impossible is challenging if it is feasible that it could happen, and was less so if it was certain it could not. By the law of psychology it is possible.
As I mentioned before I am going to make a work in response to this, referencing the mind game ‘the game’, at this moment in time I think the wok will be photographic, which is a whole new medium for me. As I have already failed the challenge, it is important to make a piece of work from the situation and not to conclude the challenge empty handed, with out effort.
I have also finally pinned down James my incredibly busy photographer, to assist on the January Challenge. It will happen by invitation only. The event will be an OTT commentary on its own existence, pushing and questioning the scenario I have been challenge to create. Red carpet, Lambrini, false eye lashes. Sven isn’t coming, probably because Notts County FC have just gone bust and everyone’s left!
