Opening night

The opening for the 10 Days project was last Friday in Vienna. The projections for the day were cold, foggy, and big.

click the above two images to see them clearer…  like I said it was foggy.

This was our secret weapon for projecting, built by the Viennese branch of G.R.L.

The projections wouldn’t have been able to happen without Nicholas. Thanks for busting your ass for this, and we’re all glad you didn’t electrocute yourself trying to set it up.

By the end of the night everything was looking like those bars above.

10 DAYS

’10 Days’ is a study of news headlines taken from the BBC News Online between May 6-15th, 2009.
The painting is acrylic paint on two wooden panels, in total measuring 234x170cm.

The painting was created during a residency at the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, Austria. Since the process behind the painting is really what the piece is about this time lapse video fills in what seeing the painting alone simply can’t.

I’m happy to be able to finally present the video and have the painting installed outdoors at the MuseumQuartier this Friday, Nov. 20th.
To accompany this we’ll be finding some visible places to project the video around the city leading up to the opening. Keep your eyes open.

10 Days

New video coming very soon.
