Who Is Your Audience? Edited by Lorenzo Bruni. Silvana Editoriale/ Galeria Enrico Astuni, 2010.

Tim has just entered week 6 (of 52...) of his year-long project called Vacuum Days. Updated daily, it features a series of announcements for imaginary events happening "in different locations around the world." The events advertised mix preposterous invented competitions, performances, public spectacles with echoes of real-life current events - all containing a huge dose of obscenity, rudeness, absurd humor, and sharp bite. The announcement below is from 3 February. The link here points to the current page.

Fresh off the press!

An end wall of my installation at Skuc:

2011. It's been forever since I posted here, or updated the projects section. Have been working hard on my solo show at Bergen Kunsthall, titled As Opposed to the Front, Back, Top and Bottom, opening January 21. The catalogue, designed by artist Ben Cain, is going to print on Monday. The work is getting picked up on Friday and I hope to catch up with myself a bit after that.

In other news, Displaced Divisions opened a couple of weeks at Skuc Gallery in Ljubljana. Curated by Tevz Logar, the show includes work by Harold Ancart, Alexander Gutke, Vlatka Horvat, Kristof Kintera, Ivan Kozaric, Bruce Nauman and Peter Vogel. It's a really good show and I'm super happy with my project, which is a room-based installation comprising 2- and 3D work. It's up til January 21.

And Who is Your Audience? at Galleria Enrico Astuni in Bologna, curated by Lorenzo Bruni, has been extended til February 6. Another really great show I'm super happy to be included in (alongside John Bock, Christian Jankowski, Joel Kyack, Kamen Stoyanov, and Mario Ybarra Junior).
