We were allowed to prepare some of the materials that we'd be using in advance. We painted some of the elements in our studio, but only partially. When the day of the event arrived we were picked up by a driver and took our entire stash of wood to the location.
Rewind! We started by choosing the optimal types of materials to work with during the event. We prepared a couple of drawings of what we wanted the installation to look like. We knew that it had to be huge! We also wanted to work with dots and circles and have them interact visually with lines created by wooden support beams, the type that we usually use to build our large-scale pieces with. We cut 15 circles out of wood, in different sizes, and painted all of them in such a way that they created the illusion of being 30 pieces. In addition we took 6 old windows from our archive-collection and we painted them on location at the Urban Spree courtyard.

Painting and building installations live has a definite performance value to it. It focuses the attention of the people and gives them a glimpse into the creative process. At the end of every "performance" we always have a dramatic finalee, usually this is the moment when all of the modules that constitute a piece are finally connected and the complete work appears.

The day after the event we transported the finished installation to the Urban Spree garden. We needed a total of 8 people to be able to carry the whole thing. The piece looks great and in its new home and we are curious to see how the weather conditions will transform it over time.
