The Sober & Lonely Institute for Contemporary Art will occupy a 1.72 x 1.72 x 1.62m space at the Visual Arts Network of South Africa (VANSA) for a three month period, starting 6 June 2012.

SLICA will use this space for a new project called FOR KARL KRALL: A QUANTIFIABLE EXPERIMENT IN TELEPATHIC THOUGHT TRANSFERAL. Participants from outside of Johannesburg have been invited to telepathically send through images, ideas, or plans for artworks to Sober & Lonely at the VANSA space, at a specific time allocated to each artist. Sober & Lonely will capture these transfers and attempt to create a reasonable facsimile in the space, using the R15 allocated to each manifestation. The artist/participant will select the next artist/participant for the project, and so on – thus creating the possibility of an uncontrolled and unmediated telepathic network.

The project hopes to expand VANSA and Sober & Lonely’s shared interests in creating global and local networks and facilitating experimentation in the arts.

Experiment Four: Cetusss

SENT - I was thinking about pope’s influence I consider as a human crime in matter of major public health concerns.

The installation could be a big paperboard, or a patchwork of paperboards
(what you can find on the streets which is not used for shelters)
With the text STOPLISTENINGTOHIM cut close to you can see in the picture.
You can hand is straight or diagonal, as you want.
Cetusss, Spain

RECIEVED - I saw the colour orangey brown sort of like the Mark Rothko http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2533/4031510191_32e9a2b7d1.jpg (perhaps this could be related to the cardboard?? but perhaps I am hoping too much)

- I saw a target - a circle something with a bullseye, also shooting, arrows
- I saw me smashing things inside the space - making a big mess - perhaps with food?
- It was quite angry but calculated

does this make any sense to you?
SLICA, Los Angeles & Johannesburg
