More Opportunity

My good friend Aga at the Dong Ping Road cafe where I am supposed to be staging my first exhibition in around 4 weeks, called me a little while ago with news of a potential opportunity, which has now become reality.

As if I had nothing else to do, I gladly grabbed the opportunity to undertake a commission to produce a graphical installation at an art cafe near Jing A'an temple.

I have a stair well and glass wall, and a dumb waiter on which to work my magic, and will also face the challenge of working exclusively in contact film (like I used to use in shop display to create text and graphics for Jigsaw windows in Floral Street etc)

My proposal continues the current theme in my work to analyse and comment on contemporary youth culture, but instead of skateboarders I am working with an unsigned and independent Punk band. I hope to work with them to produce portraits and graphics featuring song lyrics and other funky graphotism. I will be catching up with them in some garage the other side of Puxi, and trying to translate the experience into laser cut sticky film on glass.

I just hope I can keep all these plates spinning!
