MINI DECOY
17/01/2007 - 02/02/2007
MINI DECOY is an initiative of the roadkillvisiontoiletries art and design collective as well as the first presentation of an interpretation of the project by Asha Zero.
Artist statement:
“roadkillvisiontoiletries" is the name of my art / play / all round-activities group. This group consists of a few aliases I’ve adopted: one of them is Asha Zero. Along with others like “whatsnibble”, “broop nook” and a few others, they form part of either “roadkillvisiontoiletries" or my other group known as "mobilediscoetcetera " .
Under roadkillvisiontoiletries I have a few projects / themes / suggestions that are very playful and open ended. I base work / designs / animations / stickers / booklets / drawings / paintings etc. on these themes.
MINI DECOY is one of these themes: MINI DECOY isn’t anything specific yet, and hopefully won’t become anything specific. It is just another one of the “roadkillvisiontoiletries" meme’s. I show a "mini decoy "(an invented term) every now and then. It`s just a game that can be appropriated by other people or groups to do anything with - anything they want…
RANDOM PROPS is another “roadkillvisiontoiletries” theme which designate certain items as random props", and so Asha Zero `s interpretation / presentation of MINI DECOY is based on the use of objects (in this case: small paintings) which are known by him as random props.
I`d like to bring the idea across that others can interpret or use anything they want as MINI DECOYS and then maybe at some point some silly , intuitive , collaborative soundscapes , paintings , installations , sticker tags , voodoo dolls, cakes will evolve as MINI DECOYS .
It is an ongoing project, and probably not a sudden explosion of events, MINI DECOY at blank will simply be very small paintings by Asha Zero.
