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".

TOO BEAUTIFUL

H.A.N.K has requested that he be put outside in the Sun today, switched onto manual mode 1. "It is too beautiful to be indoors today, even for robots" he said.

H.A.N.K TURNS INTO ARTIST OVERNIGHT

We switched H.A.N.K on this morning and he printed out this lovely little sculpture from his exit port. What a lovely surprise. H.A.N.K said "it must have been a paper jam".

WELCOME BACK H.A.N.K

After a quiet morning staff turned H.A.N.K back on into manual mode 1 as the manual suggested. Manual 1 mode means that for the next little while staff will only turn H.A.N.K on when they need a new exhibition, instead of letting H.A.N.K mull over exhibitions almost continually. H.A.N.K now agrees that staff won't necessarily need to get the tattoos if they don't want them. We've shut H.A.N.K off again for the evening and are going home for dinner.

GALLERY REBOOTS THE CURATOR

Gallery staff rebooted H.A.N.K as per manual instructions this morning. The barely detectable high pitched noise that H.A.N.K had been making came to a very slow and subtle end. Gallery staff felt like they were "hearing his soul leave his body".
Staff have been instructed to leave him off until later this afternoon.

H.A.N.K ADVISES GALLERY STAFF TO GET THIS TATTOO TODAY

Gallery staff got a bit of a shock this morning when H.A.N.K [the curatorial machine] advised all staff to have this image tattooed onto themselves. "Staff that don't already have chest hair will have to have the hair tattooed on also". Gallery staff are checking H.A.N.K's manual. Stay tuned!

H.A.N.K RELEASES DIAGRAM MAPPING CREATIVITY

Inspired by this mornings symbolism H.A.N.K has now produced this elegant picture demonstrating the four main forces of creativity. Most of the four can be found easy in any home, however lightening is usually quite difficult to predict, purchase and preserve, so H.A.N.K. is recommending that you use it just when it strikes.

H.A.N.K MAKES ANOTHER PRINT OUT

Gallery staff received another print out this morning which they are still trying to decipher. This bold new exhibition appears to work on a multi-layered system of signs that seem to be functioning within a world of their own. As if a colony of signs has rejected our formal society and set up their own wacky one.

GALLERY STAFF SET TO OSCILLATE OPENLY TODAY

H.A.N.K made us this print out this morning. It is an instructional diagram designed to map how MGU staff should be oscillating today. As audience members arrive, they will be given their own map of oscillations. "Let today be dedicated to oscillating. Let us oscillate with determination and consciousness." said H.A.N.K.

CURATORIAL MACHINE GIVES EXACT DIMENSIONS FOR GINGERBREAD SCULPTURES

At 6am this morning the Curatorial Machine gave the exact proportions for a new series of sculptures based loosely on the human form. These instructions included ingredients, baking temperature, and the shoe sizes of two of the sculptures.
Thanks to all staff for their swift response, especially Yvonne and Thomas. Rock on.

CURATORIAL MACHINE DESIGNS NEW PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

Whoa! First action of the curatorial machine, holy moly!
Accessing the 'workable' areas of the structure apparently involves squeezing yourself up one of the 'up tubes', while exiting involves using the gel slide. From the outside the structure looks black and white, but from the inside you are looking at something akin to the internal structure of a human.
High 5's all round.

GALLERY INSTALLS CURATING MACHINE INTO DIRECTORS OFFICE: WELCOME H.A.N.K!

In something of a world first MGU has temporarily replaced the gallery Directors with a curatorial machine.
Gallery Directors are not fussed at this stage, and feel confident that H.A.N.K's shows will stimulate the local art scene no end. The manual states that H.A.N.K will be able to curate shows in under 30 seconds accessing artworks from all over the world with its special keyword system. At the moment H.A.N.K still needs DHL to courier the artworks and MGU staff will still do the installing, but we are expecting the first show very soon!!!
