I’ve made a portable art show. I’m not sure where it will take me (in every sense), but I like that about life and art, someone famous said “what’s the point in doing it if you no exactly what’s going to happen”. What I do know is it’s eco-friendly which is important, and once I get it out there (I’ve hardly used it yet), it should be fun, that’s important too.
The Portable Art Show
The photograph above was taken in 2020, so it’s moved on a bit since then. It now expands out even more, and I have a “special guest spot”! Going out with the trailer on my own is O.K, but I think it would be more fun with someone else, so I hope to have other people join me, artists, people with ideas…. My Dad might be first inline except he doesn't know it yet!
I plan to get it out there soon, so watch this space, I even have an idea of doing some type of performance piece using the trailer, maybe slowly unpacking it and laying it all out! I did something like this in 2020, there’s always something deeply satisfying about creating order.
