Ringholt's humorous and timely work, which is the inaugural Buxton Contemporary Light Source commission, comprises a series of instructions and materials that are dispatched to participants via the post. 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 refigures Ringholt's well known naked museum tours for the age of isolation.⁣
⁣
Comprising of a flat-packed painting and instructional guide, the work requires participants to assemble the artwork and stick it to a wall in their living space. Participants are then encouraged to remove their clothes and sit on a chair or on the floor and experience the fields of colour that constitute the painting. The nude viewing can be experienced solo or shared with members of your household and others, as social distancing measures relax. ❤️⁣
