Hi, I just want to update you on how my site specific work
is going. I have now finished all 12 objects for the Westgate Gardens:
I am planning to hide them before the exhibition, either Sun
10th March after the trip to Cologne, or the next weekend Sat 16th/Sun
17th March. I can then use the documenting photographs in the final
exhibition, and can also use the exhibition as a means of promoting the hidden paintings I will do in the Dane John
Gardens afterwards.
After thinking even more about how it is all going to work,
I have decided to create a blog specifically for my miniature paintings. The
blog address will be written an red paper and attached to the back of or
underneath the objects. The finders can then look at the blog and find more
information about the project and see photos of all the objects hidden in the
Gardens. There is going to be a little verse linked to each object which they
can read too. I think this ties in well with Nadja’s Tarot reading cards and the
idea of a hidden message/meaning. I will distribute flyers and put up posters
to inform the public of the project so they can search for them, but I would
also like people to stumble across them unexpectedly.
The idea is that whoever finds an object will get to keep it
if they email me a photo of them with it and any thoughts or feelings they
might have. This will make the project more interactive.
I will let you know the blog address on my next post!
