"Part endurance art, part polemic, part experiment, 'License Plate Shed' is a yearlong sojourn in a remote mountain town, during which the artist, Hirsch E.P. Rothko, an anagram of Christopher K. Ho, disengaged from critical discourse, and lived and worked in a 700-square foot shed covered in license plates. The piece is one of three components of the 2010 solo exhibition 'Regional Painting' at Winkleman Gallery. The other two are a set of paintings made during the year and a ghostwritten account of the experience."
Interesting but I am curious to know more. it seems he is more a painter what was the point of the hut? was it isolation?
He talked breifly about living in Colorado in the hut, but it seemed more like it was an opportunity that was too good to pass up. A friend had it available and he decided to go for it.
I wonder about the contact with the outside world? was it limited?
It seemed like their was no limited interaction when he was spending time in the license plate hut. With a little more explanation it seemse like that was just circumstantial and not as much apart of his work
Although he is a painter I am excited for his lectre and think there are things we can take from all artist I am curious particularly about his process with the living away and creating for that is somehting I am interested in exploring.
