ArtTrail, September 2008, Hironari Kubota performance, spinning a Ford Transit van, one of the highlights.
My work at ArtTrail was similar to the Crawford degree show. Titled, Welcome to Our World, it invited visitors to plot their journeys on
a map which I had trace
d out by hand. I think the enlarged Ireland on the map works for two reasons-- 1) Ireland is enlarged in my mind (it should actually be larger) and 2) Most of the people will be starting or ending their journey from Ireland (it was completely obliterated on my degree show map)I had hoped to render the hurricanes on the map to make it more of a hybrid diagram and verisimilitude object. Some school kids came in and wrote exactly how they felt about it. Which is part of the plan to ground it in place
and time. I got some really 'Irish' comments.
