| dc.description | First Proposal: The artist requested that a number of earth-movers be placed at his disposal during the day alloted for his work.
Second Proposal: The artist planned to ride a number of quarter horses along a white line across Sir Winston Churchill Square. Each horse was to be ridden by the artist until tired out, and the piece considered finished when the artist himself became too tired to ride and a path had been worn in the grass along the white line.
Actual Work: Executed at the G Bar E Ranch about 25 miles east of Edmonton. The artist rode several quarter horses, starting at 11 A.M., along a line between two posts about 200 yards apart. At about 2 P.M. the work was interrupted when the owner of the ranch became aware that a path was being worn into the grass.
Statement by the Artist: "For each horse ridden, one set of 9 sequential photographs should be taken. These may be enlarged and shown later as a record of the event, tigether with two photographs looking down the white line: one before I begin, one after I finish." | en_US |
