Good Afternoon,
Its wednesday and its raining, hopefully by this time on Sunday the sun will be out and I will have walked under the curve of the M25 and out into the Kent countryside in time to find a suitable spot for my first camp en route to St. Gallen.
This is an intimidating prospect.
Alongside all the art work issues there are piles of other things to be dealt with that I appear to have left to the last minute.
After I took down the show at Shed & a Half gallery I packaged all the elements from the show individually as a durational performance. The idea behind this process was that I would send all the bits of the show onto Switzerland via post and upon my arrival there I would unwrap them as the opening performance of a show in St. Gallen.
Unfortunately this has proved beyond me to arrange in time. The outcome of this is that at some point next year I will have a show in St. Gallen and the works that I wrapped at the end of the London show will remain wrapped until they are delivered to St. Gallen for exhibition there. This, as most unexpected outcomes are, is a rather enjoyable idea. The packages are now sealed within a taxidermy case that formed part of the exhibition and shall remain thus until they arrive in Switzerland. With the obvious possible outcome that they never come to Switzerland, in which case they will simply never be opened again and the piece will stand as an archive, a testament to a failure, or a change of course.
