Making Plans
The ground rush is breathtaking as I work up for the show in K?ln.
This painting, two by three meters. I was tracking on a strategy that I've been grooving on since the show in Z?rich: working the paint on in patches, painting more like a fresco muralist, a piece at a time. This is the first big test of scale.
So I pull out my architectural drawing program and model Andr?'s gallery. I want to plan the installation with him.
Andr?, this is the first pass, not even a designed scheme yet. I wanted to throw in the paintings in scale into the modeled space, Aachner Strasse 65. I wanted to see how big these things were.
I'm working on a couple of smaller panels and I will meet with my carpenter Ramon to build the rest as I go, now week for week until the art handlers arrive.
Hey, what if we all wear pink capri pants and light violet t-shirts to the opening?

then you'd all have to shave your heads and make sure you take equal length steps at the same time.
this whole weblog entry is an art piece by itself. I hope all your plans will workout fine.
Thanks for the encouragement, Turqan!

Hi Dennis
The large painting comes along great ! I think it will look fantastic in the space - ( only problem: the wall you have it installted in the modell as for now won?t work because of the railing.. :) .
Lets keep in touch - best wishes, Andr
Hello Andr?:
?Gracias! I just threw the image into the model. I wanted to check the scale out. We'll have to talk about placement as time goes on... via secure channels like email or telephone of course.
I thought for a moment about drawing the rail, but it would chew up a day at least.
