Way back when I first started this project, before I knew it was going to be my BFA Show, I viewed this piece differently. I was originally thinking about displaying it with medical supplies. This would be ok if it were a piece in a gallery space NOT the only piece in the gallery space. I must rethink how I am going to present this piece considering that right now it consists of a stack of papers. The game itself is more about the interactions between the people and that is really where I believe the art is.
James gave me the idea of filling the space with theatre props to literally transform the gallery into a "stage" for the players act upon. I really like this idea.
If the art is the players interacting, role playing, or acting out a version of reality what should the stage be? Maybe what I should do is recreate an area that puts the game in context. Like a veterinary lobby.
