Since returning for Berlin last week I have been continuing to refine my ideas for the Pavilion. Whilst it is really soothing to sit in the Autumnal gloom at the rear of my studio, making collaged drawings in my sketch book, not like real work at all, it is also a little unsettling. At this stage of the process, the possibilities are endless, and they are easily realised on paper. However, none of them are real, they do not exist in real space. More drawings have been sent to Berlin, of which I am most excited those that explore nascent ideas for a performance piece to be executed at the opening of the exhibition. This needs a lot more thought, but could add a whole new dimension to the work.
I am about to go off on holiday for 10 days to Turkey, where I hope to investigate the Istanbul Biennale, which is very exciting. I hope that this holiday will help staunch the flow of ideas, variations on a theme, within my exhibition proposal. I anticipate that some distance from the work for a couple of weeks will consolidate my ideas, helping the decision making process. Fingers crossed.
