Despite torrential rain during the first half of the day, our preview liquidation event was hugely encouraging! We introduced the project to a ton of new people – and not just the usual art crowd, lots of non-gallery-goers and the like, which is just what this journey is all about, inserting art into daily life – and to boot we liquidated our bloody tales off (even coming out on top with a little extra cash for the road). And overall we had a decent test run with the show

The art (garage sale installation included), looked fantastic – particularly the drawing exhibition – whoa! – and the public feedback was super positive. I cant wait to see this project shape-shift on the road, from midnight campsites to backyards to sun-shiny afternoons in grassy parks in small towns with sweet conversation over ice cold lemonade.

On that note: I’m psyched to hit the streets with version 2.0 of the Lemonade Truck. It was installed at the preview as a work-in-progress (see picture) and sparked a good bit of genuine enthusiasm. And v. 1.0 was a hit with the public, little kids with their moms and good conversation over lemonade with virtual strangers, an amazing tool for social interaction and psychogeographical magic. The foot-powered vehicle project has in recent years become one of my favourite personal performances – and I look forward to developing it on tour.
