‘Hide me, steal me….’

I am delighted to announce I am taking part in a group show, created and led by visual artist and curator Diana Ali in Funchal, Madeira taking place in July. The show is called ‘Hide me, steal me be nice to me’ and features photographic work in its broadest sense, addressing various themes it includes. artwork based on migration, asylum and the freedom to roam.

Specially for this exhibition, I have created a crowd of confetti people cut from recycled stamps, all featuring photographs of heads of state, or from photographs of old maps...see image above. About 100 pieces in total, I have invited Diana to scatter the work in drifts in the gallery space, ideally across thresholds and in unusual corners. This is a terrestrial / kinetic mobile art work, that is designed to be hardly seen and to migrate across a given arena. See image above.

As was seen with my illuminetti confetti in ‘Light Waves’, this crowd move in response to low level air currents and the interaction of visitors through the gallery space. Only to be found by keen eyed gallery goers, they reside at the margins of visibility.
