 Ibizan Goats, July 2012, Ibiza . Selected notes from the event: - “That’s a pretty big fire”, “Where did you say your house was?” “there…” (pointing) - I enjoyed holding the kid goats in my arms and talking to them gently, whilst painting them. - The gaps between the bars of the pen were bigger than the goats. - A bright pink goat running up the road with a farmer chasing it. - The farmer hosed my hands and feet off as I was multicoloured. - The dog came along getting involved so I painted him pink. - Some girls covered in body glitter jumped in and posed with the goats. - One of the organisers Giacomo made / played a techno mix of bleating goats, across the harbour. - I made a fluoro stone circle, which moved between the clifftop and the gallery. - A VJ working nearby - Chihiro - and I painted the leaves of the nearby plants. - Some of the goats ran into the gallery, presumably seeking ultraviolet light. - The goats ate the posters. - It was silly, but there was a seriousness in the comment on human nature. This tendency to glitter and paint ourselves, then dance in foam parties sealed off from the surrounding natural landscape. - The multifaceted relationship of humankind with each other, animals, and the land.
