Foggy November - Third Weekend
We cleaned the Stanglerhof in preparation for the opening night and fastened the shutters to the metal ceiling girders using invisible thread. It took a while to get the art up but the result was surprisingly pleasing: the shutters were all slightly ajar, which gave them more presence within the space.
The evening was quiet and the artist's talk was conducted by candlelight. We ate some good food and drank a lot of prosecco.
Austrian artist David Moises turned up for the opening with a motorised serving trolley, which was to have its first ride that evening. It was fun to watch the remote-controlled trolley speeding around the yard in the dark, giving off smoke and roaring like a broken racing car.
The next day the trolley rode again and Sky had a great time making it hurtle round the car park, chasing after some of the guests. I was happy that my work was done and discovered elderflower shandy.
At sundown the mountain was briefly ablaze and everything felt fine.
