Shrigley

Drink Me,  1998


I really enjoy Shrigleys quirky installations, he is very playful with his words and I like the humour that he works into his expressions. In terms of the first project there isn't much to observe construction wise as he uses more everyday objects opposed to wood. Conceptually, there is some really interesting ideas that he puts forwards - placing objects with instructions in pubic places is a fun way to reach a large public audience. The instructions remind me of Yoko Onos event instructions "Imagine the clouds dripping, dig a hole in your garden to put them in".
