Mindroom Reaches Olympian Heights – by proxy

According to several Nobel prize winning mathematicians as well as sociologist Stanley Milgram, who with his ’small world phenomena’ laid the scientific foundations to the more populistic term (play) ’Six Degrees Of Separation’, we are all more or less a hand shake away from each other. Milgram’s theory is based on the idea that every person is connected by a chain of six people at most.

It is a lovely thought to entertain, as it gives you a sense that really, almost everything is possible.

Through just six handshakes you could therefore be linked to millions of other fellow human beings. The estimate is that we each typically have around 300 aquaintances – people we are on first name basis with. At a quick count, that means we are just one handshake away from 300 people, two handshakes away from 90,000, three away from 27 million – and so on.

It is therefore with not a little pride, that I hereby announce Mindroom’s sudden and meteoric rise and participation in the Olympics this summer.

Our patron, Eileen Hogan, Professor, Wimbledon College of Art, University of the Arts, London, has been commissioned by The All England Lawn Tennis Club in collaboration with The International Olympic Committee, to paint the Victory Ceremony of the Olympic Mens Single Final in tennis this summer.

It is the 2nd time the Olympic tennis will be played at Wimbledon – the 1st occasion was in 1908.

The painting, 80 cm x 160 cm, will initially hang in The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum. Perhaps alongside Eileen’s paintings from her artist-in-residency for the 2009 Championships . One of them, see below, featured as the official poster for the Championships the following year.

I have arranged an exclusive mini Eileen Hogan Exhibition for you here below.

The Wimbledon Tennis Museum by the way, is a an absolute Mecca for any tennis fan, with a collection of over 15.000 objects, the Championship Trophy and – of course – John McEnroe’s ghost in the changing room. I am serious!

Anyway, on Sunday the 5th August 2012, Mindroom will be right there on Centre Court, just one handshake away from Djokovic/Nadal/Federer/Murray.

Dreams do come true – as so many Oscars winners claim.
