MBA Pass

Those of you who are psychokinetic, please raise my hands!!
-dont know who

Now that I have finished my MBA, I thought I could finally launch the art project that had been on my mind since my bachelors' days.

This installment is going to be displayed out into the open, with a 'take-it-to-the-audience' concept. I am proposing the location to be at the center of the Thapathali traffic junction.

It is a clay sculpture, roughly twice the size of the computer monitor, mounted on a potter's wheel that is 6 meters across. The sculpture is a tubular mass of clay dumped in such a way that it is arranged conically, like in an ice cream, with the top end of the tube sticking off like the end of an ice cream cone. The sculpture is going to be hollow with minute perforations on the areas facing upwards. A small vapor producing machine is to be installed underneath the wheel to conceal it from the view of the audiences. The produced vapor is channeled through the tube and out of the perforations to give the effect that the sculpture is giving off steam. Much like a pile of shit.

The title of the project: Sham Poo.

In Bangkok, our guide's name was Poo and the tuk-tuk driver's name was Wee.

I hope nobody said 'Wee need the Poo'. as in, Winnie the Pooh. Don't laugh. I beg of thee.
