Take a piece of my insignificant thoughts is an interactive artwork consisting of 105 individual pieces of artwork bound into a book and mounted on the wall. Taking the form of a traditional Asian tear-off wall calendar, visitors are invited to tear off a page to keep the artwork for themselves, should they want to. In doing so, they reveal the next piece of work that becomes available for the next visitor. The progress of the artwork is essentially reliant on the actions of visitors: both in revealing the subsequent pages, and in aiding the gradual deinstallation of the work throughout the duration of the exhibition. As the exhibition comes to an end, the individual pages would have served as a scattering of the artist’s thoughts gifted to the public – the artwork reduces in the museum but expands into the community. Once the last page of the work is torn off, the artwork no longer has a need to exist, and disappears.
This work has been exhibited at Kunstmuseum Olten as part of the group exhibition ‘Exploit me’, curated by JKON.
