Ideas for possible locations and placements, looking around Mount Eden at existing text in public spaces, methods of writing and display.
If i wanted to do something 'activist' i could write it on a chalk board or something else used by a shop for advertising. Chalk is good because it doesnt cause permanent damage. Shame this particular one is for a fruit and vege market.
Nice subtle little spot for putting text. It would look cool with something that fitted around the whole curb piece in another texture or shade of white. When keeping in mind the reveal/cnceal element of my work i was thinking about a time based piece that would decay over time. Decay isn't really what I'm after but something on the round would suit being revealed by being worn away. The only things I could think of as mediums were paint and dirt; paint would take months, even years to reveal any message and dirt, well, it gets cleaned up. Another possibility could be to clean a section of pavement then write on it in wax (in a marvellously pretty font), the wax would deter dirt then i could return to it and pick the wax off. Thought of that as I was typing and quickly realised that i do not want a part in revealing the text myself, doing it 'for' the viewer as such.
If you're thinking about text in public space on posters, this is it.
PHANTOM=PHANTOM=PHANTOM=PHANTOM=PHANTOM
Cute little bone paste up. Pasting could be a possible medium although today I saw a man scraping posters off these little boxes, they all appear very clean so i think it would be a very fleeting work if my text looked anything like traditional graffitti situated in any public place
