Amalia Pica
Amalia Pica, ‘I am Tower of Hamlets, as I am in Tower of Hamlets, just like a lot of other people are’ (2011-2012)
Sculpture based on the Echevaria plant, a species native to South America but popular in domestic environments world-wide due to its ability to thrive under any condition.
Residents of Tower Hamlets are invited to look after the sculpture (hand carved by Pica in pink granite) for one week, then passing it on to the next participant. This exchange happens every Saturday throughout the year. The sculpture’s travels will be recorded on a ‘lending card’, serving as a document of the meetings and exchanges between neighbours that made its journey possible. In June 2012, the sculpture will return to the gallery.

‘Though a lie be swift, the truth overtakes it. Ten fibs I told as a child’ (2006) by Vaast Colson
Ten lies Vaast Colson told as a child were printed on 500 white balloons. Each balloon is accompanied by a mini-disc on which Colson explains the project and a signed and numbered information card. During the opening the balloons were filled with helium and released. The people who found a balloon were invited to send a photograph of themselves with the balloon. The most distant balloon thus far was found at 770 km from Antwerp.

Jonah Brucker-Cohen, ‘Alerting Infrastructure!’ (2003)
‘Alerting infrastructure’ is a physical hit counter that translates hits to the website of an organisation into interior damage of the physical building that they inhabit. Each unique visitor “hit” is translated into physical output in the form of activating a large, pneumatic jackhammer on a wall in the exhibition-space.
