I propose to coordinate an international ‘Group Show’, centred on the boomerang, facilitated through an ‘Open Call’. Applicants will be required to try and make me laugh. This could be in the form of a simple joke, a surreal observation or a sketch, but to name a few. The only stipulation is that it must be language based – anything image based will not be considered. All successful applicants will be notified within one month of the exhibition opening, where they will receive an instruction. 

With each new boomerang that arrives to the exhibition space, a gallery assistant will be required to carefully unpackage the boomerang and place it on top of its box, where they will remain static until the end of the show. Each boomerang will be titled using the sender’s initial ‘amusement’.

Ultimately, I think this show would be a reaction to the very strange, often fraught nature of the ‘Open Call’. Additionally, I believe it could challenge the conventions of the ‘Group Show’ and the notions of how sculpture can be considered.
