ZONE (2014)
Empty Cube / Appleton Square Gallery, Lisbon Curator: João Silvério
ZONE was installed for twenty-four hours at EMPTY CUBE within Appleton Square Gallery, Lisbon. A cube was erected within the gallery and a two-faced sign placed within the built cube. On each face it presented acorrelated but different texts (by Mark Themann).
A young boy replaced each text pair with new texts following a schedule established by a roll of the dice. In a gamble for time, at a table traditionally used for domestic gambling in the Portugal's middle classes., Themann and Silvério (curator) each rolled a dice to ‘fill up’ the allotted twenty-four hours with a randomised schedule, for the exchange and display of new text pairs, in various cycles of duration.
