Dear Mathew,

An adoring fan of mine kindly told me about your exhibition. I'm flattered to hear you have devoted it to me. If I had time in between combing my pectoral hair, I would create art about me too. I have made many mixtapes in my time. So you have all the accurate information, here is an example of a mix tape I listen to as often as I can. This one is titled: "Walking down the road with my heavy load: Trying to find fame again".

SIDE A
Looking For Freedom

SIDE B

At your disposal,

David Hasselhoff (but my friends, or "mates" for all you Aus-ssies, call me 'The Hoff')

*This ThreeThousand writer should probably add some relevant information. Mathew Sleeth's exhibition reflects upon digital media, yet takes inspiration from the labour of love and duplication that was the mix-tape. By taking images on mobile phone cameras and blowing them up to gargantuan proportion, Sleeth presents an astonishing extrapolation of data. And to David Hasselhoff's disillusionment, Mixed Tape doesn't pay that much attention to David Hasselhoff.
