SORCERY

SORCERY

Sorcery is a conceptual artwork by @Markthestars consisting of 48 spheres of pure space each measuring 2.4 metres in diameter. They are installed in clusters of 4 in various locations and each of the 12 clusters given its own name. They will last as such, for an eternity.

Here are the twelve clusters and their locations:

THE BUBBLES OF JOY

This cluster of four are installed in the Tate Modern gallery in London. They are mobile and wander through the gallery and the site outside amongst the visitors. In the night they rest.

THE BOUNCERS

This group are inside the Newport Street Gallery in London. They are moving very slowly and bouncing off the walls, but going through the visitors. In time, maybe a thousand years or more, the building will collapse or be demolished and then the bouncers will escape and travel out into infinite space, leaving the Earth

THE BEACH BALLS

This group wander on the beach and sand dunes of Oxwich bay on the Gower peninsula in Wales.

THE GHOSTS

This group wander around the archaeological ruins of Chichen Itza in Mexico during the night. In the day they are still, each one resting 5 meters above one of the buildings.

THE QUARTET OF HOPE

This group are in still positions resting on the ground, on the north, south, east and west points of Vire Island on the river Dart in Totnes, Devon.

THE UNTITLED

This group are inside the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea London in undetermined places.

THE ETERNAL ATTRACTIONS

This group are in the Modern Art Oxford gallery, with a pair in each of the large rooms on the first floor.

THE MARK JAMES BRIDGER WAS HERE

This group are in the Serpentine gallery in Hyde Park, London; one in each of the main spaces and one outside in the pavilion area.

THE RIVER WATCHERS

This group are at Pinkhill lock on the Thames, near Oxford; one pair 48 mts. downstream of the lock and the other pair 48mts upstream of the lock. They are always 4 metres above the water levels.

THE ONE FOR THE MONEY

This group has disintegrated and reformed as separate 1cm cubed pieces ( 28,952,917 in total). The cubic centimetres can be bought (and relocated) along with an artist signed note of ownership for the bearer.

THE NOBODY REACHES THE STARS

This group are not on the Earth. One is on the main belt asteroid Circe (34). Another is on the north pole of the planet Saturn. Another is on a planet that orbits the star Vega and the last one is in a neighbouring cosmos, beyond the confines of our own, and in the direction of the ‘cold dark spot’ in the cosmic microwave background (that is in the constellation of Eridanus, the river).

THE MYSTERY

The location(s) of this group are unknown (two) and unknowable (two).
