I agree with the above & Sarah’s post on the matter works for me.
Anyway — I’m too busy at the moment with our ‘provincial’ exhibition. A
collaboration with The Arts Catalyst “SEFT-1 Abandoned Railways
Exploration Probe: Modern Ruins 1:220 — Ivan Puig and Andrés Padilla
Domene” http://go.shr.lc/1jy7AJo
It was featured in the Guardian last week by Jonathan jones ‘The
ruin-hunters who drove a car down Mexico's forgotten railways’
http://go.shr.lc/1qwbV4K
And will be featured on the BBC news on Friday…
Oh wait! I get it, it’s seen as ‘provincial’ because the work
successfully reaches people, beyond their art establishment silos. Of
course ;-)
bye for now.
