Displaced

Displacement was dismantled today. Below are some of the comments from the book in the gallery (I don’t normally like to blow my own trumpet but I thought some of these were quite sweet):
‘I like the big painting with everything in it. Architectural landscapes. Also I want to live in the little room.’
‘Really like the Secret House installation through hole in the wall - I would live there.’
‘...Brilliant hidden room was fun.’
‘Rich White - the woman’s room - loved it!’
‘I considered eating a display biscuit, but didn’t.’
‘Loved it, especially Rich White’s Displacement. 2nd visit now.’
‘My favourites were Survival Pt 2 + the secret grotto behind the wall (not sure of the name).’

Interrogation Walsall

Yesterday, as part of Interrogation Walsall, I went to The New Art Gallery Walsall to give a talk about my work.
It was a really good event and fine way to finish Anna Francis‘s excellent month-long project.

Paraflows09 PV

It was the opening of Paraflows09: URBAN HACKING last night. It was really good - very busy and lively with some nice responses to my work.
I shall post some images of the night shortly. I can’t do it at the moment as my camera battery died halfway through the night and the charger is back in Blighty. I foolishly thought that a full charge would last all week. I didn’t anticipate that I would be taking 50+ photos a day - every day!
Stay tuned for some action shots of the night.

Ready To Go

Assembly is finished. The show opens at 7pm.
I’m definitely ready for a beer.
It’s been quite a good build though. Everything came together really well - all the materials were there, ready and waiting for me as if it were planned!
Photos from the opening will be posted sometime after tomorrow night.
