mounts: Installation piece by Rivane Neuenschwander. “Viewers are supposed to choose a ribbon, tie it round their wrist, and write down their own wishes on slips of paper to replace it. When the ribbon falls off, the wish comes true. I took a whole bunch of ribbons that day, stuffed them all in my pockets so I could save my wishes for later. I wrote down some silly lines and left them on the wall, read the wishes of strangers and peeked over people’s shoulders trying to see which ribbon they chose. I Wish Your Wish was the first piece of conceptual art that really moved me. There is something so intimately beautiful in wishing – to wish is to place your trust in the great perhaps, and to wear them on your wrist is to wear your heart on your sleeve.” -TheJuvenilia
