Notes on Paintings on Computer Circuit Boards
It Is Not Yet Over (For Curators)
The Painting of Modern Life - Hayward Gallery
Mapping Our Time: An Archive 'en Plein Air': Some Scattered Reflections
The curator, on the occasion of the display of this message (the exact time and date should be noted), should speak the words:
“It is not yet over.”
This statement should be repeated, five times per day (once upon waking, once again in the morning, once in the afternoon, once in the evening, and once again before bed) preceded by the time passed since the previous utterance, following this format:
“Three hours thirty two minutes have passed. It is not yet over.”
The curator should record the sound of each statement using a portable audio recording device of their choosing.
The piece will be concluded when the curator is no longer able to speak.
A copy of the audio recording should be given to the artists.
