The work is titled “Sub-Rosa” . Apparently Robert says (in his blog) "the term sub-rosa, or “under the rose” is used in English to denote secrecy and imply covert activity.
I noticed that he had his proposal selected and thereby participated in Graphica Creativa ‘09,
held at Galeria Harmonia where I had my work exhibited a few years ago as part of "Printmaking at the Edge" through being an artist featured in Richard Noyces book of that name.
I also submitted a proposal for a collaborative installation with my good friend Elisabeth Omdahl (Norway) for this exhibition, but it wasnt selected. As I said to Elisabeth in an email I sent her about a week ago I think it was as much the manner in which one proposed to EXECUTE the 'collaborating' as the aesthetic of the work itself which I think was more the emphasis in our proposal. I have come across one or two other artists who had works in that show and wasn't that impressed with any of it, of course it's all a matter of personal taste when you really think about it.
Still I will keep my eye out for when they put the next 'call for work' which should be held in 2011. Maybe it will come out soon.
