2009 - FIRST QUARTER REPORT - KUNSTKAMPH



The proliferation of the obsessive art of Gary Farrelly (1983-2077) has gained momentum in the first quarter of 2009. On all fronts the artist’s kunstkamph surges forward - It is an utter rout. At the core of this impressive progress is the evolution of the artworks. Detail has been a central preoccupation thus far in 2009. At the artist’s recent exhibition KUNSTBUREAUCRACY at Galerie W - The elevated level of technical, personal and aesthetic detail was evident. The artist is now an a++ expert in all his core subject matter areas: Airliners, flight planning*utopia, secret police, motorway *fellatio and obsessive indexing systems. New obsessions and areas of research are constantly being assimilated into the cube head. Stagnation is not possible.

Collaborations with other obsessive artists have forged new directions in the evolution of the kunstkamph. A new transatlantic postal collaboration with Charles Farrell has been inaugurated. Existing collaborations and exchanges with Sophie Iremonger, Laura Petitbone, Whitetrash art and others also stimulate new obsessions and productivity. Onward - Upward - Forward. A planned new postal collaboration with Belfast artist David Swiggan is set to commence this summer. Other/ written postal correspondence will be donated to The Irish State upon the artists death in 2077.

At this time it should be noted that Farrelly successfully completed his second 2 year plan. Productivity is up, obsession is up, finances are up, vitality is up, debt is down, and rhetoric is up and so forth. The publication of the third plan is imminent and is expected to contain radical, ambitious and fetishiostic targets. In addition to the permanent exhibition at Galerie W, Paris - there have been works by Farrelly in various shows and events in Dublin, Cork, NewYorK, Denver, Tehran, Berlin, Belgrade, Tehran and Istanbul.
