[...] some work that I did at Chapter in Cardiff, it had been open
a very short period of time, I think I was the second exhibition
in there, a performance called 'Equation = Equation'; an installation
that lasted ... I've forgotten the number of weeks but I performed
regularly through this and you all know Chapter of course and at
that time, the four connected spaces that are now the gallery actually
had a wall right across, they were former classrooms. And this was
a piece exploring relationships of language to action, some of it
was in Welsh – Welsh, English and other European languages.
And that's ... I took it to Edinburgh a little later, this was at
the Richard Demarco Gallery [...]. You can see these many rods have
texts written on them and an infinite sequence of actions exploring
aspects of the language and the impossibility of rational meaning.
This was where I met Beuys, he came to the performance and we very
quickly became very good friends over the next ten years or so.
