revisionism- #r11 Whoboughit?
Oh where, oh where, has number eleven gone? It's my own fault for giving it away. In a moment of uncharacteristic benevolence, I donated it to the OCAD anonymous art sale. For seventy-five bucks, people buy postcard size artworks without knowing who the artist is (some very good artists actually donate). The flip side, I've discovered is that I don't get to know who bought it either.
I'm usually quite obsessive about keeping track of where all my works have gone. I like to feel that, should I want to, need to, visit with my works i could call the owners up and come over for an afternoon visitation. Not that I've ever done that. Though I have been told that on more than a couple occasion, I've called works' new owners, drunk in the middle of the night, insisting that I know the works are there and to put them on the phone where I then, sobbingly plead for them to come back home
Anyway, to number eleven, call me, we should talk.
The revisionist installments are a series of re-reaction paintings to the events that occurred, or were occurring at, the time of their corresponding numerations. Painted for the five by seven show to fill in previously sold works, they are by not meant as repaintings of the original works, but rather, as expansions on the concepts of their pre-numbered associate.
