Installing Sound(e)scape
A
A very early Wednesday morning a rare sight appeared, in mist or a light summer rain an artist was walking through London caring two giant sized crochet umbrellas. She was headed for the lovely Pump House Gallery in Battersea Park, to set up their exhibition Departure Lounge.
Normally, I don't walk around in London at 7.00 in the morning. But Rain and I (and all the others which installation I also will show you) had to install our work. It was quite busy, since we only had one day to do it, but it was enjoyable and fun too.
We were so blessed that we had some friends who asked if we needed a hand, which we certainly did. Especially because Rain and I were not tall enough to reach the wire from where we were hanging the umbrellas - even on the tallest ladder. So John came to help us hang them up, and he was not allowed off the latter at any time ;-) and dearest Helena had helped us crochet the umbrellas the day before.
I might look like I'm just watching, of course that's not true. I am leading the very important job of deciding and directing where the umbrellas shall be placed ;-)

Above, you can see a time lapse video of what it looks like to hang a cloud of umbrellas in a space. Below, we are having a very well deserved lunch break in the fantastic and green surroundings of the gallery and it isn't raining!
