An anonymous group of 7 conducted the resident artists'
duties. KIT, Mitch Robertson and Charles Goldman are
the visiting artists.
Charles Goldman is tied up and blindfolded for refusing
to give the necessary information to enter the gallery
space.
|
|
Upon arrival to the gallery, the visiting artists are
questioned about their intentions and are made to fill
out various forms.
A member of KIT escapes the gallery and calls the police
to create friction but the plan backfires when they
try to arrest him.

Static
(Liverpool, England,
2001)
KIT and Mitch Robertson are the visiting artists. Becky
Shaw is the resident artist. |
|
KIT and Robertson arrive at the opening, which the resident
artist has made 2 hours earlier, so people are waiting. |
The audience have been purposefully misinformed by the
gallery that we are trying to get the gallery shut down. |
|
Robertson responds by making an igloo from paper, tape
and metal tubing and inviting people in to drink whisky. |
|
KIT meanwhile observes the crowd and writes observations
about individuals on paper and makes flags of them. |
The New Gallery (Calgary,
England, 2001)
KIT, M. Robertson, Daniel Olson and Nick Evans are visiting
artists. The gallery curate John Ressler as resident
artist.
Daniel Olson performs a number of spoken word recitals
and Nick Evans constructs a coat, which he performs
in.
|
|
KIT and Robertson produce a greenhouse like structure
and place 90 air fresheners and cleaning agents in it.
John Ressler uses sound and dry ice and essentially
makes the gallery a club like venue with ABBA on repeat.

Galerie Dare-Dare (Montréal,
Canada, 2001)
KIT, Mitch Robertson and Eric Heist are the visiting
artists. ‘Women with Kitchen Appliances’
are the resident artists.
The 5 resident artists make it physically difficult
to occupy space. KIT and Mitch Robertson work together.
|
|
Heist makes a temporary structure from a building tarpaulin.
Inside he has a police scanner and framed pictures.
KIT and Robertson produce 3 structures made from metal
tubing, tape and cellophane.
|
The hostility resides in a lack of space, noise and
resident artists appropriation of the visiting artists
materials. |
|
During the installation performance, Eric Heist sits
in his temporary structure scanning the airwaves for
police calls. |
|
The resident artists use sound, video and kitchen appliances.
The noise produced by all the appliances is loud. |
