Monday morning feels so bad
Everybody seems to nag you
Comin' Tuesday you feel better
Even your old man looks good
Wednesday just don't go
Thursday goes too slow
You've got Friday on your mind
Description
Friday on Your Mind is a one-year project by Danny Devos aka DDV for the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerpen. Every Friday DDV will visit various Master Programme Studios to discuss the work of participating students. Students are invited to participate to Friday on Your Mind by creating works in any discipline that are inspired by historic events listed for that day in DDV’s Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar, an ongoing project since 1985. Leaflets will be handed out every Friday and the listings will also be online here. The works will be featured in an exhibition that will show a timeline of events and inspired works created for this project.
