Just back from the studio and my fingers are stiff with cold. It is freezing out there. I had the dog with me and walking him home was enough to get really cold. He is getting used to the studio though he prefers being at home.
Watched Fischli and Weiss’ The way things go at Cratespace in Margate yesterday evening. The projection was done outdoors, which was interesting though alot of the detail was lost so not so good for a first encounter with this seminal work. Words which went through my head in response: absurdity, ridiculousness of things going round and round again … “go” as in work, function, experiment, move, disappear, collapse, break down, fail …
I nearly didn’t go to Margate as I’ve had a really tiring few days, squeezing work in between trips to the hospital with my dad. Turned out he did not have DVT so that was a relief though no one knows what is wrong with his leg. The doctors are throwing antibiotics at it and treating it as cellulitis. Life also “goes.”
