Sorry aboyt the delay! I've been very busy moving but now back on track. I have had time to think though. My idea has been changing many times so I would like to have a chat with you (Pierpaolo) on thursday if possible. Anyways, my last idea is about replication. I started thinking about the WCs in the bar im working in. The entire cellarfloor is covered in tags and graffiti. The walls used to be white but nowadays you basically can't see a single white spot. I want to 'take' a square meter of the wall with me and put up in a totally white space as our studio. And the other way around, to take a white square and put up as a contrast to the tagged walls in my bar. I want to connect two totally different rooms, having me as the only link to keep them connected.
So I was thinking of painting an 'exact' (as good as I can) copy of the tags straight on the wall in our studiospace and paint a copy of a square meter from a wall in our studio in the bar and in that way swop the two square meters. I had a chat with Adrian today about this and we started discussing documentation and outcome. There is a problem since you probably just will see one of the two pieces. And photographs are not too reliable.
I do want to stick with the concept but try to work within the studio space. I also want to develop it into a 'more' sculptural piece as in building a replica of something. Maybe replace it with the original. Anyway, this is a part of the process so I've started sketching and thinking about the relationship between different objects in the room.
