> ARTJONGG This piece is a massive game board 21
feet by 9 feet exhibited as a public piece. The
centre of the board contains 40 canvasses surrounded
by a large black space displaying 80 paintings set in
glass tablets representing playing pieces. There are
1200 tokens, mini-drawings conceived to be used as
confetti by the public. The piece is based on an
artist’s continual manipulation of various elements
in pursuit of an aesthetic goal. This ever-changing
desire to balance the literally endless arrangement
of form, colour, texture and placement is a visual
game. The viewer can actually play by scattering the
tokens over the board in their own artistic search.
