About how to make a work doesn’t work
But also works as a “doesn’t work” work
Participants can choose one of 185 ceramic balls of different shapes, sizes, and colors and throw them into any hole in the tube in front of them. The artist temporarily defines these 185 ceramic balls as a failure because they might be stuck in the hole, break on the ground due to different textures and sizes. It will have more than 185 different endings, but it always wanders in the space set by the artist. A ball falling into a point through a hole can be called a meaningless monotonous process with a beginning and end. The artist defines this simple act as invalid or even failure.
