"Things We Never Did"
Aware of the fact that showing unrealized work is a step towards realization I am submitting two collections of material separated into software and hardware. Both of them are part of a bigger, absolutely unsystematic, collection of things that fascinate me for one or more reasons.
The software folder includes amongst other things: plastic bags, cutouts from newspapers or advertising, flyers, parts of toys, artificial teeth or postcards.
The hardware collection consists of wire, parts of electronic devices, bolts and screws, deer horns et cetera.
Both of them are used as a sourcebook for my work as an artist. In addition the hardware parts often find their way into kinetic objects ( http://www.clausprokop.at/schauenwasnochgehtschauenobsnochzappelt/ ) I am building. Nevertheless a lot of those things have been with me for years or even decades and they have not found there way into any finished projects. But they are still kept with the intention, "at some point I could make something out of them."
Those collections were part of the exhibition "Things We Never Did" in Künstlervereinigung MAERZ, Linz, Austria, December 2010-January 2011, curated by Beate Rathmayr. http://www.maerz.at/archiv/archiv-2011.html
