__Risk Assesment
__CUNT ROCK
__An Alive Unaccomplished Scenario
2 recent works that are in my thinking during the early stage of the Trelex residency are Risk Assesment for The Chinese Arts Centre and CUNT ROCK for Be Live at The Penthouse.
There are 2 reasons for this.
1/ All 3 of these recent situations and works have involved 3 different studios which are also the places for presenting work from and all have quite different sorts of audiences.
2/ They all come at a point in my practice where I am daring to approach what I REALLY want to do. What gets my heart racing and fills my soul and feels real and important. I am daring to be unapologetic about honesty and the personal in my work.
Words that have been used in the past about my work and particularly these works include: provocative, evocative, menacing, beneath the skin, haunting, frightening.
But is there a time and place?
In Switzerland there seems to be an extra palpable sense of a time and place for everything which is very strongly goverend by capital and a sense of achieveing something practical.
The out of the ordinary seems so much more strange and out of line here. The ordinary turned extra ordinary seems almost ridiculous. Why gather some potatoes from a field and pile them up in your studio?
There is a lot of peace here- it is why people are here. Why disturb it?
