Introduction:
Marcel Duchamp:” I think there’s an element in the slowness of the execution that adds to the possibility of producing something that will be durable in its expression,…” /Marcel Duchamp: The afternoon Interviews by Calvin Tomkins; 2013/
Not just in art but also in life. I find it important to be able to stick with something. I am not trying to say to stick with something no matter what – some thing just need their ENDING. But knowing yourself good enough to know what you will be chasing at the END, if you didn’t put your best in it – and to give things TIME. There is an ART in making things slow – there is an ART of NOT doing anything at all! Actually /for me/ this is one of the hardest things, to just let things be, if there is nothing you can do about it – some things need time to have possibility to maybe become great one day (there is no certainty they will be).
Description of project “9”:
Project will be in process for 9 years. Why 9? – because 10 years just seem a bit too much, doesn’t?
We would meet once per year (location, date, circumstances – unknown at this point!)
There is no plan of what visualisation, size, location of tattoo will be, at this point. We have to meet and make first line at first! and then you don’t see me for one year.
2019 – fragment of TIME
so, the project started! quicker than I expected. And here I am, committed for 9 years to P.K. from Athens! I have no idea when and where will this continue in 2020, but it WILL and I can’t wait to see what time brings.
2019 P.K. flew all the way from Greece to Slovenia. We had no idea how the project will start, with what image. So I just did what I use to do when I have empty head – I flip pages of different books, or scroll some shit on the phone, computer… I went to our first conversation we had. I did printscreen of it, and I zoooooommmmeeed IN as much as it gets. And this is what happened…
TIME – the word that got ZOOMed in was TIME.
Let’s just ignore that imaginary land of coincidence, doesn’t matter!
(actually I got big smile on my face when I realised that, at the moment it happened)
I took the most ZOOMed IN fragment of word TIME and put it on the skin to stay there until we continue in 2020.
