Preparing Terra Incognita et cetera<\/i> for the Centraal Museum, Utrecht. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nChris<\/a> sent me this photo that he has taken for me before I went to the site at Centraal Museum, Utrecht. From previous correspondence with Meta Knol I did imagine that the wall would be quite big and that excited me.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\"02_wallposition\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nWhen I came to the site I tested things out with projections to decide how big the mural would be. I came up with a size which sits comfortably on the wall in relation to the space.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"03_shelfposition\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nThen I thought of the shelf to put the props on as part of the installation after the opening.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"04_shelfdetail\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nThe shelf will accommodate all the props used in my performance during the opening – the trays of remaining cocktail flags and cocktail umbrellas, the wine glasses, a TV monitor for the video.<\/p>\n

Perhaps I should use cocktail glasses instead?\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"05_colours\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nI also surveyed some colours for the work. The morning before I started this test I went to a local market and found these party assortments at the Blokker<\/i> supermarket. It was wonderful to discover that they use mostly the same colour as the flags that I used for the Melbourne version<\/a>.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"06_details1\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nIn this Utrecht version I will use cocktail umbrellas as well. What a novelty they are! Mega-fun. The good thing is that during the exhibition, the umbrellas’ shadows cast on the wall would add to the whole composition – in Melbourne there were only square-ish shadows cast by the cocktail flags.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"07_details2\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nAnd this time I will make the flags with long matchsticks. I was so happy to find out that the Dutch word for matchstick is Lucifer<\/i>. The bringer of light. The morning star. Satan himself, before he fell. <\/p>\n

The matchstick was also bought in a local supermarket – a Swedish Match product. When I flew back to London, I had to light them one by one before I went in the gate, so that they would be non-flammable and I could bring them with me in the airplane.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nA sketch of how the installation might look like during the exhibition – except that the map will be territorialised according to the local audience during the performance, like the one in Melbourne:\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\"tintinwulia05\"\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nThis Utrecht version of the territorialised map will certainly be different from the Melbourne version pictured above. I am curious to find out, as the nature of the venues are quite different as well.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"09_frontviewwithmeasss\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nFor the opening performance I will use a podium. The podium then will be taken away after the opening, leaving just the shelf. This time, a video piece will help to put the work in context, especially because I would not come again at the end of the exhibition to paint the wall back to white.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nThanks to Jet Vermaning and Camiel van Lenteren (Centraal Museum), Petra Kuipers and Chris Bestebreurtje (Motive Gallery) for making this sketching possible.<\/p>\n
