Still being productive, feels good! Still a lot to do till the show though..
Have built a shelf for my tv screens. I’m quite happy with it, though it still needs a bit of fixing and sanding and then I want to paint it – not sure about the colour yet. Maybe off-white/ivory? I think the piece will look much better when the shelf is all polished and painted. I want it to be as perfect as possible, as a contrast to the mix matched tvs and cables (which i will deliberately let hang lose)
The shelf is supposed to be freestanding in the space and the viewers will see the back of the tvs and the cables first, then be able to walk around the piece to see the screens and films. The idea is that that way the tvs turn into objects or even sculptures and not just screens that we are so used to stare at.
Another problem I’m trying to work out at the moment is to get the timing of the films right – all six films should start at the same time, otherwise the narrative doesn’t work..
