Counterwork

First full day in Vienna

I spent the morning having a good look around and taking a few photos.
Then I got down to the serious business of inspecting the container village that is to house the exhibition and trying to find some materials to build my work.
I had a chat with Andreas, the scaffolder, and it turns out there’s quite a but of scaffolding left over. So I’m going to use that!

That’s my container.

And that’s it’s inards. Soon it will be stuffed with scaffolding.

I’ve posted this in the art crime category. I’ll leave the decision of who is the criminal up to you.

Vienna

On Friday I go to Vienna to install work for Paraflows09.
It’s going to be quite exciting - I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do or what I’m going to build with. All I know is that I’ve got a space in a temporary container village to work in. And six days.
