We were back in Prague on Friday 9 February for another evening of Tagtooling at Galerie Tiskárna. At this event we had a corner all to ourselves at the other end of the gallery from the main stage where we were able to make a big installation using a set-up consisting of three projectors and two Tagtools.The photos above show the odd angles and sloping walls of this fifth floor attic gallery space – presenting very interesting and complex possibilities for Tagtool drawing! We decided to make our installation in the form of a triptych, using the sloping corner walls for the central panel and making two semi-transparent vertical surfaces on either side by suspending several layers of net curtains from the ceiling. These two ‘wings’ were Chann’s Tagtool canvas; I used the second Tagtool to draw on the central panel. The donkey heads were laid out on a small table in the corner with the papier-mâché crow on its stand suspended from the ceiling above, in readiness for the short performance by K.U.N.T.Z. Zirkus, ‘Donkeys play Cards’, which was scheduled for later in the evening.
As it was difficult for me to capture the whole projection with my small camera, above are two photos that I took of my drawings at the beginning of the evening and below is a drawing by Chann on one of the semi-transparent side panels.
Some wider shots of our installation can be seen in the photos below….
…and here is a close-up shot of the crow and donkey heads.
There were so many people crowded around Chann and Dima’s, ‘Donkeys play Cards’ performance that it was very difficult for me to see to draw or to take photos. In the photo below I used flash (by mistake!)… …and in this one (without flash) it is possible to see my background drawing.
After Chann and Dima’s performance was over there was time for me to do some more drawings – so to end this post here are two more photos….
There were a lot of different projections and performances at this BLEM Fest – so when we were not drawing we were able to join the large and enthusiastic audience to enjoy some of the other events during the evening!
