Glue Ai Weiwei
Add legs to the snake only after you have finished drawing it | |
This is an opportunity for release into
the market of a brand of glue which is in
some way imbued with cultural/human
meaning, such that once applied to an
object it is infused with additional
artistic merit.
It might be made from the combined tears/
eyelashes/ spines of repressed masses,
and/or overlooked/self-promoting artists.
Here's an object that might benefit from a bit of glue

Horses are quite imbued. Could it not be made by
boiling them up instead? |
|
| |
I don't think it actually matters what you boil up - as
long as you concoct some form of narrative that does
some imbuing. |
|
| |
If it's going to be applied to an object, wouldn't
some sort of varnish be better? |
|
| |
Polyurethane varnish is composed largely of atoms
born in the death throes of long-dead stars. It
should imbue nicely. |
|
| |
Perfect, and in many ways isn't varnish just a kind of glue
that reflects our inner selves? Plus, it facilitates polishing
in items that might be otherwise unpolishable. |
|
| |
Any specific objects in mind, [Zeuxis]? |
|
| |
I have just glued a third-eye onto my forehead. |
|
| |
Oops. Try soaking it in warm soapy water and gently
prising it off with the handle of a teaspoon. |
|
| |
How about cheese with these Properties? Because in my life
I find myself more often in need of cheese than of glue. |
|
| |
[Rayford] aha yes! See link ^^^ |
|
| |
This is why I was initially thinking of glue - so that
repairs could be made invisibly - but repairs
nonetheless that make more out of an object than it
once was. |
|
| |
[bungsleep] sometimes cheese is indeed more
appropriate - maybe a range of products could be
presented, one of which could contain vast kitsch-
overloading quantities of real processed cheese
flavour. |

//spines of repressed masses// |

I was more inferring a scatological reference about
some specific unpolishable items... |
