Handing out tissue party crowns on the door to a group show
for the show the blooming assistant, in the Centre for Drawing, March 2005
I offered hand-made tissue party crowns on the door to a group show. If entrants wanted to wear a crown,
they could choose from several bright colours. Within the structure of a critique session, on the last day
of term, I was interested in whether the spirit of a party would be entered into and how participants might
consider themselves - as royalty or a fool. The hats apart from their cultural specificity - the Christmas
lunch or office party - governed a space within the show as an independent event. The crowns took on the
condition of souvenir after the event.
