26/10 More materials taken from nature were boiled in the pot. The music created using sound-fragments from the Kartoffel Menschen Trio song "Sixteen Buckets of Shit", the two songs recorded in the gallery ("Play Me Your Favorite Records" and "Moments Spin Eternity"), and the environmental sounds recorded in Gothenburg and Molndal were all played through the gallery's speakers. The canvas with the ball-point pen drawings on it was hung on the western wall. The drawing which had been made the previous day was cut out and attached to the bottom edge of said canvas. Two new drawings were made using the liquid resulting from the boiling of the materials taken from nature -one of a head along with a symbol combining the signs for anarchy, peace, infinity, a heart and a compass rose underneath it. This drawing was placed on the eastern wall underneath the cut-out drawing of two figures, a head, and a crescent moon. The second drawing was of two figures holding hands, which was cut out and placed near the floor by the northern wall. Images of persons playing instruments as well as images from music record covers were cut out of the local music magazines and placed on the walls and ceiling of the gallery space. The branches were removed from the gallery space. The five cut-out drawings of figures playing instruments were placed, one each, on the four walls and onto the ceiling of the gallery space. The liquid left at the bottom of the pot after boiling the leaves was applied to the same canvas as the previous liquid. The canvas was thereafter hung on the northern wall. . . |
