There's an open submission deadline coming up soon at the local gallery that I'd been thinking of sending something in for. One of the selectors is a former Turner Prize winner, Mark Leckey.
I am fairly sure any of my photography would stand no chance of making it even as far as a very long shortlist, but I had at the back of my mind considered that perhaps my small book might become 'more' than just a lot of images; if each page was individually framed in small IKEA white frames and installed as a long 'horizon line' right around the whole gallery.
Last night I was looking for something to use as a dust cover for the two blocks of pages, and liked the way it suddenly became sculptural. In fact I now think it would make a half decent art gallery design.
I haven't got around to adding some trees and miniature people yet to complete the effect, but rest assured there is provision for a cafe with outdoor seating and a skateboard/bmx park tucked away at the back alongside the loading bays. I haven't decided yet if it's feasible to have either a swimming pool or ski slope on the roof... or maybe the ski slope ends in the swimming pool.
