| LIST OF PRODUCTS FOR USE IN EXPOSURE #0001: |
 |
1 Polyurethane
Canvas (Blue)
The sky is sometimes blue and so is this particular canvas. If we are to dream the sky and canvas as analogous then this must also be a dream of conflict because the canvas is waterproof and the sky is not... imagine nature as an expression without prescription of limits and technology as attempts at fixed precision. The canvas like the sky serves as a frontier for energy focus. A shallow depth of field or "decreased sky" provides increased "active-energy" space e.g., the island of Manhattan as compared to Cedartown, Georgia. |

10 Cases
of Budweiser (Warm)
My father was a auto-body mechanic and his favorite beer was Budweiser. It is unpleasant to drink warm Budweiser. It is arguably more unpleasant to drink Budweiser after securing an elevated class station. Maybe in this exposure the Budweiser acts as agent to accelerate group empathy and increase intimacy. This exposure employs many commercially available items because of the fine "exacting" qualities of mass production. In this regard EXPOSURE #0001 could be considered the "etiquette of transgression" easily re-produced and employed by a large "cross-section" of the working and middle class. |

200 Birthday
Party Balloons
Everyday is a birthday. Every birthday is a beclouding of origin and guarantor of death. So then everyday is an event because of yesterday's suspect remnants. Everyday is an event because of tomorrow's fickle promise. |

100 Polaroids
It is dangerous for images to fix too fast. Maybe this "fast-fix" causes us to forget more than the residual image allows us to remember. So here we dance upon former selves who look up at us like the dead asking us to remember; a dystopian prompt to encourage re-collection as active resistance to capital engendered movement and "progress". |

5 Halogen
Flood Lights with Dimmer Switch
The primal stimulus of light and dark. I think of the floodlights here as the mass proliferation of all texts in the service of capital; an "over-exposure". With each cycle of this work darkness engenders the light as temporal thus dynamic. EXPOSURE #0001 re-issues the light with "creative-vision". A protocol to dream in the waking hours. This retinal play could cause us to notice in precise detail just where the edges where the blue canvas becomes concrete floor. |

1 Portable
Walkman with Instructional Audio CD This is a schizophrenia simulation for 2-3 selected participants. The participants hear voices in their heads prompting them into actions outside the boundaries of the blue tarp. Maybe this is a simple and direct reference to faith. Compelled into multiple actions without rational to continue yet, we continue... then again maybe this is just S&M. |

1 Apple
I-Book Computer For Techno-Music
I'm into techno these days. Techno is the audio expression of the machine. Dancing = physical body and techno is good for dancing although technology is usually not very good for the continuity of the physical body... back to the blue canvas. - CP 2000 |
