Yesterday I did a little bit of work on the Redbanks RUST & FOUND Art Installation, in m role as the Curator of this Installation. And I was so happy when I went and checked out how one of the adjustments I made to a part of the Installation survived overnight!
I’m learning more about the good and bad things about having an Art Installation that is out in the open, exposed to weather, as well as the various creatures outside! The best thing is that anyone who wishes to view this Art Installation can do so anytime they wish to! They’ll miss out on learning more about it, in my absence of course, but they can make up their own ideas and opinions on what they see.
But the pariticular part I’m referring to is the Exercise bike, an old and well rusted one that has pride of place close to the wire fence which is also a part of the Installation, along with the great many other objects on display.
Any way, I had what I hoped may be a great idea regarding the placement of one particular item that is on display, a quite popular item, as it has turned out, and I moved that item to be displayed in an amusing way, and I love it! Being an Art Installation Curator isn’t all collecting, cleaning, and other boring aspects, there can be joy there too, particularly if you can have a bit of fun with what you’re doing!
So the image below shows what I’ve done, I hope it gives you a bit of a smile at the very least!
I call this piece ‘Chickie Chook Goes For A Ride’, and I love the amusing incongruity of it! I hope other viewers will love that too! Chickie Chook has been placed out in a variety of different sections of this Art Installation, and wherever she is, she looks like she loves being there (except for when the nasty wind has blown here over and too far away to be seen as a part of the Installation).
I’ve been thinking of producing a children’s book featuring Chickie Chook one day, and this little exercise bike adventure may well feature in that book, or perhaps series of books …
