Tonight we launched our exhibition/ happening at POP gallery. Tim gave a speech and invited visitors to choose a weapon and start scraping the gallery walls. This could have been a bit confusing as everyone who came in thought there was nothing on the walls. We had spent a few days before covering the letters in white spray and then white paint, so that when you walked in it looked like there was absolutely nothing on the walls.
Our video of the process was playing to explain our procedure for the last 8 days, so people could see how we had arrived at nothing. Once all the walls had been scraped off, we swept up the abandoned letters, and tomorrow afternoon we will float all the ghostly scraps in water so that they sink into the paper sheets that we will then dry and use to make books from.
