About my artwork: Eric von Robertson works under the conceptual framework of CARL - The Center for the Advancement of Recreation and Leisure. As Robertson says, “CARL is a destination, a way of locating and rerouting the world around us, through a process of excursions and sculptural prototypes.” These prototypes are tossed into a series of field studies that travel between remote and urban landscapes – places where a large inflatable cushion of air is uncontrollably swept through the streets, to a pack of stray dogs sporting custom designed textiles that offer new routes and intersections for ‘City Guides’. As CARL’s excursions continue to meander through the Lost Caves of St Louis or across deserted islands in the Maldives, these places and misadventures become models in tourism and personally reflected souvenirs in the pursuit of recreation and leisure.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: The one in your back yard, have a look - take a break and enjoy a tangy glass of lemonade.

The centre of the artworld is: nowhere and everywhere

I'm a complete idiot navigating in the maze of a supermarket, and I wouldn't last 10 minutes in a shopping mall. Why the hell is the GPS installed in cars. There's road signs everywhere. In the shopping malls however, you can't be sure ever to make it back home again. I look so much forward to the day I can get my grocery by e-mail. Thanks for accepting my friendship and for your comment.
