MADE TO MEASURE: FROM AN ELECTRONIC-MAIL MESSAGE TO FAYE CHANG (October 26, 2000)

With the Turner Prize in the air, I have been busy on the web, as you will have noticed. I have been busy otherwise, too. One piece of good news is that my show at the Made to Measure art space on Princelet Street off Brick Lane in Spitalfields is starting today. As you may know, the space can only be seen from a shop window on the street. Several artists, like Stuart Brisley and Christoph Klauke, have already shown there. Enlarged postcard reproductions will be displayed one at a time. Again, the first card will go up this evening. Phoebe Tait, who runs this space, will be changing the postcards from time to time. This will be going on for a few months, perhaps through most of January. At some point we will have a party instead of an opening, but this will have to wait for the work on Phoebe’s house to be completed. Right now, the place is a mess. There are scaffolds in front of the house at the moment, and the art space is actually used for storage of construction tools and materials. Of course, this provides a great backdrop for my prickly postcards. Ah, construction!
