The Sporting League Score Prediction
Metal Ballot Box, Coupons and Statistic Panel
Visitors are invited to predict results from a selected Sporting League fixture.
Renshaw works in various media in which drawing forms a pivotal component. He researches the relationship between drawing, its broad application as a tool for communication and its ability to resonate on an intuitive level.
His practice questions and examines perceived boundaries between fiction, reality and imagination. His ongoing research draws partially on Marc Augue’s analysis of modern life as highlighted in Non-Places, An Introduction to Supermodernity.’ (1995).
‘Bayerns’, ‘Tranquilayers’, ‘Universo Collunteen’ and ‘Pointeso’ may sound like international football teams but in fact belong to a fictional super league. When aged six, Renshaw developed an interest in producing league tables and statistics. These autonomous lists and drawings such as ‘Sporting City’ reflect a lifelong archive of hopes, fears and dreams.
For ALL, visitors will be invited to predict the outcomes from a selection of Sporting League matches by completing and posting result coupons into a metal ballot box. A print depicting a full season’s worth of data from the previous year will accompany the box.
The individual who predicts the closest results will receive a signed print of statistics.
