OH MY, OH MY: FROM THE ANNALS OF A GREAT TELEPATHIC AFFAIR

Week 14 - Most Best by Ruth Sacks & Simon Gush



Following Ruth Sacks & Simon Gush's proposal for Oh My, Oh My, Sober & Lonely invited three artists to telepathically project their favorite artwork (for one hour) into the space at Convocation House. The following three artworks were selected:

  • When Faith Moves Mountains (2002) by Francis Alÿs in collaboration with Rafael Ortega and Cuauhtémoc Medina
  • Good Feelings In Good Times (2003) by Roman Ondák
  • Kissing Through Glass (2007) by Jirí Kovanda

Unfortunately due to space constraints, the three channel video projection of When Faith Moves Mountains could not be installed in the gallery space. Jirí Kovanda's Kissing Through Glass was telepathically projected on the left hand side of the gallery, with Kovanda (potentially) standing inside the window, offering passersby a kiss through the glass. Outside the gallery, to the right of the entrance, Roman Ondák's Good Feelings In Good Times sees an invisible queue of people lining up, waiting to enter the space.
