T-minus 35 Days
February 23, 2008
35 days until my solo show opens at Gallery 138.
Making sketches for the layout of gallery. Thinking about how to project things in non-standard ways. Everyone has video directly on the walls. Don’t want that. Want something new, something different. I have a lot of glass to work with and the temptation to use vellum is strong. Multiple images captured and refracted, possibly with mirrors, so that the initial signal is dispersed and untrackable. Fun house maze. Got to see what Brookie thinks of that. Non-linear is the key. I went to Peres Projects in L.A. Chinatown a few months ago and saw that Dash Snow had chipped out a hole in the cement floor and was beaming video up from the basement onto the ceiling of the second floor. ‘Twas a horrible video, but presentationwise, fantastic. Something like that. Wonder if I could get the neighbor to project video across the street and into the space, so that it is diffused and awash with light? Hmmmmm….
