opening night...


I stole this image from the college website fine arty section. Look how serious she looks looking at that chilli pepper hmm question question question thats really interesting i'm really interesting in that it's aesthetically stimulating to me. I'm thinking about how i can sneak my piece in to the exhibition, on opening night, people could be interacting with my pieces and not even know it.

Thinking about the folk that go to these things, how they interact with each other, standing around in groups having intelligent conversations, wandering, staring, thinking,pondering. You come for the art, or do you really? Did the free wine and food interest you in the slightest? Or what about the opportunity to just be seen here? How cultured...

Theres something interesting about the wine you get at opening nights. I've been watching how people act and behave in these situations, the wine glass is like a prop from social interaction, something to hold, like a cigarette, it is comforting to have you carry it with you and it is in integral part of the night but it isn't something you pay attention to or look at, something insignificant that really does have an essential purpose.

Perhaps I could place my pieces at the bottom of the wine glass? You won't bloody notice.
