The simplicity of my day to day.

Imagine you had to create an art piece for a gallery or museum. What would you create?

I wonder what sort of gallery would agree to display any art piece created my me. Not one I would want to visit! 🤣
My display area would probably be an empty space. There would be a plinth covered in black velvet. A spotlight would light up the space. The notice would say The Emperors New Clothes, or Imagination.

This reminds me of a news item I read in the Guardian newspaper.:

A lot of people have fallen for a fake news report about ‘invisible art’. Collectors, claimed Canada’s CBC, are paying through the nose for the art of 27-year-old Lana Newstrom even though you cannot see any of it.

“Art is about imagination and that is what my work demands of the people interacting with it. You have to imagine a painting or sculpture is in front of you”, the artist supposedly said.


So yes, I think that’s what my exhibition would be like.
