The more I think about it, the more I like the idea that Xi and Don had about the "invisible gallery." That way, perhaps the work would have a chance to be seen by people other than the normal museum and first-Friday hip gallery goers. I do, however, really like the idea of having a tangible, portable way of displaying the work as well, so ultimately, i guess I feel torn! I wonder if it could be a matter of where we place the portable gallery....
I really like the idea of somehow incorporating the use and the actual hand-truck into our own work. We could each design a specific work with this in mind but still pertains to our own body of work and then as a collective show it in a group show or possibly even as a street performance or even as a parade of 10 or so hand trucks with our own creations. Maybe I like the idea because for the last 10 years or so I have had a very close relationship with my hand-truck named DOLLY Parton and she has been extremely helpful and even though she squeaks and gives an occasional shrill she has and is always reliable. If anyone would like to personally meet Dolly she lives in the back of my van. She comes off rather cold at first but she does warm up when she gets to know you, especially if you squirt her down with WD-40.
I like the idea of parade. I wonder if the idea of hand trucks could be a sub-part of something larger. Circhaos is cool, or circ-de-something. I have been shy of using "k"'s instead of "c"'s since I saw outside of a small town in Illinois the "Kwik Korner Kopy";a little scary. If going with the hand truck idea I vote that the visual is a hand pulling he bed rather than the truck pulling the hand/as a bed. I think the metaphor for hand as engine could be interesting.
a parade sounds "AWESOME!!!"(said in a post-presentation way) i agree wit the hand as the engine. what about a walking/crawling hand pulling an upturned hand?
in know of a k instead of a c is a blood not wanting to use the c letter of a crip...
jonathan...i'm scared of dolly. i'm guessing she's at least 80 or 90 by now, but looks like she's 30.
and instead of a handtruck, we can design a circus travel wagon that opens up into some type of display cubicle...
