Halensee S41
3 hours of biking clockwise.
I follow the dice religiously at the beginning, and as the piece progresses I allow my own compositional opinions to take over. It’s a dance with the dice. I still shake and read their numbers each time, as it’s a guide for me to follow or ignore.
I have a pickle jar with 4 dice in the pouch of my overalls, the 2x 6-sided dice chooses which of the 6 buckets of paint, the first 12-sided dice determines the blend between them. The last 12-sided dice decides the shape of path that I bike.

Composition for 2 Simons
Performing outdoors in 0’C made us move in more erratic ways, as there wasn’t time to think or plan, just to carry out the next action.
4x Phases: Wrap the canvas around rocks and throw it along the ground, take turns. Together rip the canvas apart, more of a dance than a fight. Nail the canvas onto wood. Take turns, explore the materials, you can tie, you can undo what the other has done but in additive not subtractive way, a turn might involve multiple nails. Throw the whole piece around some more. It ends when both feel satisfied or one is exhausted.If needed add a material or action, utilizing new or previous movements.
Earlier that day, I was about to start exploring materials by myself at the outdoor studio at 90mil and had a large bag of; pre-painted canvas, wood, hammer, nails and canvas strips ready. I was wearing only short shorts, shoes and gloves when I heard laughter. That Simon Walker had showed up at this moment was perfect, I suggested that we do a performance piece together. We took 5 minutes inside and I made suggestions for a score until we had something that worked for us both, see above.
That morning I was looking at the idea that: Art can ask a question, either conceptually or materially based. What happens when I do this specific thing? How does the material and myself respond to each other. Art that gives you an answer is much less satisfying than that that asks a question or explores. I shared this with my collaborator as another source to draw from.
