And so I have returned from the land of meat and beer. Good old Germany. I got there okay in the end (plane-plane-train-train-train) although if it wasn’t for a nice Germany lady who spoke English I might have ended up somewhere completely wrong. And then second I stepped off the train it started snowing and I had done my usual and assumed that anywhere outside of Scotland has better weather and not really prepared for it not being. But it wasn’t really that cold.
The space was really good- large and in a slight L-shape, with a couple of sliding walls. Felix, the gallery man was very nice and looked after me well. I took over two paintings, a hexagon construction, some drawings and a bag of materials.
I decided to do a wall drawing on one of the walls and it worked out really well because one of the sliding walls had a slight step in it where one part slid behind the other; and I decided that that was good place for it. And it was. Depending on what angle you were looking at the drawing from, it caused a sort of perspective error which is what I was after.
So yes, it was good. I also ate some of the best pretzels known to man.
I’ll add some photos and installation shots to the gallery when I get them sorted out but in the meantime, here are a few images. (It might take a minute for the page to load). You can also see some images at the Raum 45 site.
