\"\"<\/a>Five years, one week and a day ago I started this project. I was visiting my family in British Columbia and my sister and I had spent the afternoon wandering around the Vancouver Art Gallery. Despite being a musician for most of my early life I hadn’t performed in a long time and was feeling the lack of artistic self-expression. Wandering around the gallery reminded me of how big art is, how anything approached with consideration can be art. And that it’s important to display work, masterpieces and works-in-progress. It helps other people as much as it helps the artist.<\/p>\n

Anyway, with so-close-but-not-quite perfect timing, I find myself back in Vancouver at this time of year. Takashi Murakami’s The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg is on at the gallery, which must be seen. As a congratulations to myself, so full of ego am i, I have hung Day 1835b – Planet Art, a Mirrorlab’d projection of the Vancouver Art Gallery, in the Vancouver Art Gallery…’s bathroom. Complete with Artist Tag card, because why the hell not, I paid my admission.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So get to the Vancouver Art Gallery as soon as you can, to check out Murakami’s amazing graffiti and of course my masterpiece hanging with honour in the throne room.<\/p>\n

With apologies to the Vancouver Art Gallery & Takashi Murakami.<\/p>\n
