In The City there's a thousand things (the signs) want to say to you


Today we really got to work at POP gallery. We took the pulp formed letters one by one and made a series of instructions from signs observed around the city and cities. Our first plan was to form a line of text across the gallery wall and then build upon it.  We have taken the (striated) instructions from signs which appear in a clear formal font, and have made them deliberately punk-craft looking, (smooth) to remove their authority.

We are documenting the text as it emerges as we may remove everything again before the actual launch event and just have a blank space with a loop of the documentary process. Tonight Tim is pulping some white paper so we can start printing white instructional overlays after we meet with the 3rd year printmaking students tomorrow.
