  • Reflection Notes

“From here you could see the Rijksakademie gate. In a way this residency building is a gated community. What does it mean to be a ‘guest resident’? And how can a collaborative practice fit within the existing structure? Sands lives close to the Rijksakademie, his actual studio (at home) is a few minutes walking away.” – RR.

  • Reflection Notes

“Sands just bought a new wig, to fit with his new wrap-dress. It’s the first wig after the older one from 1999, who was called Lemon Pie (short: Lemon). This one, found on a sale rack at the Backstage, has longer hair, is from Revlon with a ‘tomato bisque’ colour: Sands calls her Strawberry Short Cake (short: Straw). As always the lines are blurring, figuring out the ‘updated’ outfit, as an extension of oneself, feels like a significant production: ‘I never know when I’m working and not working’. But: we feel like doing some hands on archive work today, and start to unroll some of the Thought Paintings-to measure, title and document them and start archiving to see how the filing system with a catalogue number could work.” From the meta-archive process diary. – RR.

Meeting – 12.04.20: “the archive is a cacophony of voices-highlighted through [our] collective archiving performance? Temporality is meaningful by asking and rephrasing questions.” – AC.

  • Reflection Notes

“We moved bags, made piles; of textile paintings, of ‘bags in bags’, of studio decoration. Megan brought a print of Adrian Piper’s archiving tips and we attached it to the wall. Goodbye 2019. Gift Science Archive team is taking a break to get ready for 2020.” – RR. From the meta-archive process diary. “This is a pre-covid image, when we were still comfortable with hugs and nearness.” – RR
