Margareta
Kern and Suzana
Tamamovic have collaborated on a new piece of work for
the Waiting Room exhibition. Titled 'Drift Away', the work explores
issues of time, waiting and that particular state of mind that one enters
while waiting for something - drifting, filling in time with 'things
to do', as well as pressure and release.
In a series of visual instructions visitors are invited to create their
own paper boats. Furthermore before they make paper boats they are encouraged
to write or draw their wishes, messages and prayers on a piece of paper.
Their boats will be collected, then 'released' into the sea at the end
of the exhibition...thus freeing the hopes, wishes and thoughts...
The exact location and time of this event will be announced closer to
the time. To receive information about the final performance and/or
the touring of the work please email us at paperboats@driftaway.iofm.net
