Intervention #2 (Peloton 01.07.10)

For this work, the same 4 paste ups from Intervention #1 where mounted onto wooden placards and leant against the laneway outside Peloton. They addressed a work by Adrian Gebers, entitled Jan Van Der Ploeg Wall painting no288 (2010). In which Adrian Gebers executed a plan for a site specific hard edge painting by Van Der Ploeg and called the finished work his own.
For this show I made a small card to accompany my works. It listed the title, date, artist and materials and was made to look as though the placards where a part of the Peloton show, rather than the graffiti of the previous attempt at Peloton.
It was designed to mirror the concept of Gebers - yet in a playful fashion. While attempting to 'steal the show' and look like it was rightfully included, it was still obvious that this was an unnoficial, guerrilla addition to the work already officially displayed.
