Wish-Flush: Antithesis of Choices and Desires:
An installation by Hugh Merrill and Patrick Moonasar for the Darlarnas Museum in Falun Sweden; Falun Print Triennial August–December 2007

     Hugh Merrill was invited by Mr. Jan Raihle Director and Anne Seppanen Curator of the Darlarnas Museum in Falun Sweden to create the installation Flush: Antithesis of Choices and Desires: for the Falun Print Triennial August to November 2007 in Falun Sweden. The Darlarnas curators had seen Pool of Belief an arts action and installation Merrill exhibited at the Polish National Art Museum in Poznan Poland in 2005 and were interested in having Merrill create a new work based on “Pools” for the Darlarnas Museum/Falun Print Triennial 2007. Merrill working in collaboration with artists and close friend Patrick Moonasar devised an interactive installation of graphic digitally printed images of children’s swimming pools filled with consumer goods printed as rubber floor mats. Wish-Flush will open at the museum on August 25 running through November. Merrill will lecture on the project at the Darlarnas Museum in October of 2007 as part of the Triennial. Following is a PDF file on the project and images for publication.

     Wish-Flush has since been performed at the YWCA for Earth day in Kansas City Kansas and is presently being scheduled to travel to Argentina and Cuba in 2009.
