To the participants:
28 is the number of the days of the Moon to turn around the Earth. You have been one of these day/instants: a specific/occasional observer.
It is difficult to draw with colours on black paper and on a bad support. It is difficult to express emotions in given time.
No chance to change paper, subject or context, no chance to add time...
With your ticket you challenged the opportunity to act within a context.
These shared moments have not been a show to look at from outside, not a workshop with somebody teaching you how to make good pictures.
Nothing here is related to aesthetics, meantime everything is visual.
You had some tools that you chose from a given range.
You had a fixed time to do whatever you wanted, at given conditions.
What you did it's not maybe what you expected to do and maybe you have been into a space and time you didn't expect to be.
This happens in everyone's life.
Danger, bad luck, sickness, war occur and you can't do the drawing you like as you want.
Sometimes you can't make it at all. Somebody has more time than you, someone less.
The works here are shrank together in a collective brain made by individual views,
where the lack of some remains as memory for all that ones missing their presence, their action.
This is for who wants not to be present and who cannot to be present,
Here you have not been useless, not shallow.
Despite costs that others will support, - the whole income of this event goes to Volunteers Doctors.
I aim to update all of you who gave me their contacts with the final bill and the movements of this and further events like this.
Lots of love McBett & The Crew
