Participatory möbius strip produced live in the space as part of School of Beginnings at Tate Exchange.
A long roll of paper was twisted into a möbius strip, so that the double-sided nature of a paper sheet was transferred to its single sided possibility as a continuous surface. The loop was manually fed through a workstation that provided a flat horizontal area covered in carbon copy paper. As the drawing loop passed through the workstation carbon transfer marks accumulated through the action of moving the paper, intentional marking of participants, and through the scuffs and blurs of previous marks as the loop continued.
The Production Loop re-enacts a process of mark making that is associated with the term ‘drawing’, the generation of meaning through material manipulation. It recalls the revolutionary intent of faktura, and the anonymity of the worked surface. It offers visual evidence of production. It is unsure whether it has any end.
