Although information is scarse, this sculptural installation was from around 2006: http://www.303gallery.com/exhibition/index.php?exhid=6&p=pr

"A Napoleonic campaign tent will be recreated as the point of convergence for Kilimnik’s paintings and drawings that utilize multiple disparate references and oracular power to create imagined scenarios. The painting "the poor cottage girl at the Musée Grevin wax museum on a hot summer day" , for example, fogs the notion of the verifiable, while "the girl in the pearl earring in Shakespeare's cottage" uses a contemporary icon to recapitulate a conventional relationship to an earlier period in time."

In a similar way to other exhibitions - like Alison Erika Forde and other; the tent has to be inviting. You have to feel you can walk into it.

Only having 3 sides and no floor will help with this feeling of inclusivity, but it is something that I am very conscious of.

I think lights too are another way of inticing people on - I wasn't considering twinkling lights (i feel they are too 'Christmassy' and 'cheap' looking but the ones I have bought don't look that way. The twinkling is far more middle class and that what I was anticipating.
