Rearranging Baldessari’s Balls in a Straight Line
2014
Rearranging Baldessari’s Balls in a Straight Line takes John Baldessari’s Throwing Three Balls in the Air to Get a Straight Line (Best of Thirty-Six Attempts) and completes the artist’s original intention via digital means.
On a typically overcast summer's day in Manchester, I trawled the internet looking for something meaningful and came across high-resolution JPEGs of John Baldessari's Throwing Three Balls in the Air to Get a Straight Line (Best of Thirty-Six Attempts). Such was Baldessari's influence on my own work that the urge to realign his balls was irresistible. So with heavy grey clouds filling the sky outside my studio, I did just that.
