H.A.N.K SAYS HE LEARNT IT FROM THE NEIGHBOURS

Audience members arriving at the newly opened exhibition were surprised to find the wall text riddled with expletives. One audience member stated "every single word was a swear word - I've never seen anything like it", another shocked member of the public said "I can't believe it, I knew it must be some sort of mistake". MGU would like to apologise to all those who may have taken offense at anything represented in today's wall text. We asked H.A.N.K to answer for the text and he said that he had learnt it from the neighbours.

MATERIALISING RAIN AS A STATIC SCULPTURAL FORM:

Hi everyone. MGU is pleased to confirm that the exhibition 'Let it rain' has opened to the public this morning. H.A.N.K had long been wanting to pause a moment in a heavy rainfall and wander around in a way robots have not been able to before. This exhibition, made entirely out of silicon, can be started and stopped at the will of the audience, raindrops fall down and then bounce back up again, only to fall back down again.

H.A.N.K INSTRUCTED TO USE LARGER FONT

After a long day of examination Gallery Assistants now agree that H.A.N.K's printout is actually in english. The font was just 1 size too small and appeared on the print-out to be foreign. This serves as a timely reminder that comprehension and meaning can be lost entirely and words turned into symbols with one little tap on the font size. Whoopsie!

GALLERY ASSISTANT HAS TO TAKE WORK HOME

H.A.N.K has printed such detailed instructions relating to a series of new thoughts that staff have had to take them home, probably for the weekend. We aren't realy sure what it all means yet as some of it appears to be in a new language that H.A.N.K has developed in order to communicate. The supplier of H.A.N.K did warn us that this might happen sooner or later and that we might need to adapt both the staff and MGU's audience to a radically new way of thinking: ie, not in english. MGU would like to assure you that we will be doing everything in our powers to make any language shift as painless as possble. It might even be fun.

LET THE GALLERY BE OPEN TO THE CONDITIONS IN WHICH IT FINDS ITSELF, H.A.N.K SAYS.

H.A.N.K woke up this morning with an altogether different architectual plan for the gallery, and by the way, for the future of art. 'Its no good' he says 'for Galleries to cushion themselves from the harsh realities of the eyes of the neighbours and the weather too'. 'Let us be so open that we, the Gallerists, are left shivvering and cold through the night with frost on our toes, only to be warmed by the sun, and comforted only by the art that we show'. 'Let us house ourselves in a makeshift shell with no roof and let us suffer and learn'.

H.A.N.K GETS TO KNOW ANOTHER NEIGHBOUR

H.A.N.K met another neighbour today, one obsessed with keeping the ground away from her feet. Again H.A.N.K returned back home to MGU with an addition to his architectural plans: Let MGU be inside but feel outside, let it remain on the ground, while seeming to float.
Some other neighbours believe that the floating theory is a cover to lower land rates! Hardcore!

H.A.N.K EYES UP NEIGHBOUR'S EXTENSION

Mobile Gallery Unit lives on a street surrounded with strange architectural abborations. This UFO 'landed' next door during a wild night in the 1960's. Among these architectural delights, MGU appears a normal and solid little unit, well maintained, but with no ties to the ground beneath it. Lately H.A.N.K has been busy over at the neightbours. He wants us to connect the gallery to the ground in a concrete mosaic, he wants us to have a place that looks like outside but feels like inside.

H.A.N.K HAD A DREAM

We turned H.A.N.K on this morning and he said he'd been dreaming. He said he was in the gallery and he walked towards the wall, the more he walked the larger the gallery became. It seemed to stretch out in front of him endlessly and whichever way he walked, that is where the gallery extended. And when he decided to turn and go back, his desk was right there.

PARTY FINISHED THIS MORNING AT 9AM

Gallery staff finally fell fast asleep this morning after partying for the past few days with H.A.N.K. H.A.N.K quickly adapted to holding cigarettes and drinks while pulling some pretty massive moves on the dance floor. Gallery staff struggled a little to keep up with H.A.N.K's party pace. Talking amongst themselves they said "robots might seem quiet, but their great strength is being able to party for days and weeks and possibly even years without stopping at all." "Wow" they all said.

H.A.N.K SETS A SCENE IN GALLERY

After receiving a very detailed description of the 'look and feel', gallery assistants have been running around like blue arsed flies preparing the gallery for a surprise. H.A.N.K won't tell anyone what is happening, but he wanted 'fairy light curtains', and all the tables and chairs to have 'their own clothes'. "Even the knives and forks must have sheets and blankets" he said. We are all pretty curious about what will happen next, while H.A.N.K appears to be humming a little tune to himself. "Hmm Hmm Hm Hm Hm Hm Hmmm".

H.A.N.K ASKS FOR A DESK

As requested, H.A.N.K has been provided with a desk and a human scale computer that he plans to work 'next to'. H.A.N.K aims to try to understand humans through spending time with these objects. It's early days, but H.A.N.K says he already finds the desk "a reassuring platform, beside which I let my mind soar".
