after finishing this mobile gallery and photographing in in an instilation space, a gallery setting i have decided that i dont not want to take any of them outside, this i feel would just be too obvious and pointless, they would not reach the right audience and would just defeat their purpose. i do not want them to be a cube in a cube and i dont think they come across as this but i now that their not going out. this is the last mobile gallery and will be destroyed along with the others, i am destructing them all so i can move on to the next part of my work, i belive it is all part of a process, as at the moment i am documenting and casting the wood used in making them, the progression is naturall and all nessesary.
The document could be read within the context of the dematerialisation of the art object. The book: Six Years: The Dematerialisation of the Art Object from 1966 to 1972 is a classic text and a lot of art practices over the last 10 years reference issues from that time period. On the other hand you could consider how the document itself engages with audiences. Most contemporary art is viewed second hand via art magazines etc. Is this state the new 'reality'?
