02 missing presumed found [exhibition]
Following our win and subsequent funding
for the progression of the project, we were invited by The Lighthouse
to exhibit in the observation room of the recently refurbished Lighthouse
building originally designed by famous Scottish architect Charles Rennie
MacIntosh.
Due to the relatively secluded location
of the room (only accessed by lift) we decided to create a fantasy 'office'
for those behind the creation of mpf- this included writing desk, travel
typewriter and hat stand complete with two bowler hats.
By this point the project had become locally
known through numerous newspaper and magazine articles, but the people
behind it were still a mystery.
Our entry to the competition was marked
anonymous on account of our belief that the focus of mpf should be on
those who participate and contribute to it, opposed to those who started
it.
The exhibition furthered the intrigue of
the project, relying on a mixture of factual material and urban myth constructed
around the idea of it's illusive creators.
The exhibition ran from June-November 2002.
