SOME TIME WAITING
2022 - ONGOING
PLACE FOR AN EVENTUAL BIRD
8.5 CM X 5 MM Ø / WOOD
‘SOME TIME WAITING’ IS AN INDOOR SCULPTURE PLACED NEAR AN ENTRANCE / EXIT (A WINDOW OR A DOOR). IT IS TO BE INSTALLED FOR A DURATION THAT IS DETERMINED BY THE ACTIVATION OF A WITNESSED ENCOUNTER OF SOMETHING ARRIVING, SOMETHING BEING OBSERVED AND SOMETHING DEPARTING. AFTER THIS POINT IT IS TAKEN DOWN.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE WORK COULD EXIST FOR A TIME THAT IGNORES THE CONVENTIONS OF EXHIBITION TIME-FRAMES. FOR EXAMPLE, IT COULD BE INSTALLED SOMEWHERE FOR 8 YEARS, 42 DAYS, 18 MINUTES AND 53 SECONDS. OR IF WAITING IS BROKEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION, IT MUST BE REMOVED.
SINCE 2022, AN ONGOING COLLECTION OF IMAGES ARE BEING COMPILED BY PHILIP NEWCOMBE AND ANDREW SHAW THAT ARE AN EVOLVING RECORD OF THIS PROCESS OF WAITING.
