The Exhibitions / Acquisitions Board Person Tate Modern Bank Side Holland Street SE1 Dear Madam/Sir 20 May 2007 Destiny Building Site is the celebration of two worlds where human beings habit, the real world and the inner world. It is the cross-worlds of the human face, love, hope and freedom, and the future being created today. It is a confrontational but non-judgmental creation. I am proposing the idea of this project to the Tate Modern. My first thoughts were to exhibit Destiny Building Site in the turbine room. Should it happens I will not ask any stipend for the exhibition in the Tate Modern. I would also like to offer the Tate Modern to legally consider accepting the franchise of this project, Destiny Building Site, which, if accepted, I believe would require further discussions. There are thousands of art exhibitions in the world. Tate Modern, I dare say, could extend this art project as a brand, a reflection of the modern times well into the future. Building sites will exist forever, they change, they are small or big, use different materials and technologies, but feelings, a good part of human feelings, are, I believe, innate. There is no odd futuristic behaviour for innate human feelings. Destiny Building Site is an exportable installation. The project can occur simultaneously in one or more places at one or different times. No major physical product is involved, just one CD. It reflects the 'Globalisation of Art'. It is an idea that can be re-created and re-invented anywhere, like the interpretation of a play or a musical composition. It can be erected in a cave, in an old turbine room, in a small room or anywhere where there are local resources available such as computers, printers and modern photocopiers (poster options). For those countries and 'open villages' without access to modern facilities, but willing to be part of Destiny, an organisation can take the role of providing one sole installation that is sufficient to create the desired results, the ever changing feelings within each observer. Even those regimes that thrive on censorship can install Destiny Building Site. Should they put veils on The Kaleidoscope Destiny, or deface Destiny, sooner or later, the corrections made will confront the original free exhibition, hopefully in this order. The complexity of the exhibition depends solely on the resources obtained through sponsorship, in this particular case labour and reusable materials it brings. Sponsors, and more important, the public, will be an essential part of the exhibition. I believe this idea brings together both external and inner worlds. This is the Destiny Building Site: The Kaleidoscope Destiny and the Destiny installation are my original works, each one in a different media, both based on the original Fado Destiny (acrylic on canvas, 20"x20").
