Fuck THIS Place
March 26th, 2011 at Extra, Extra
"Fuck 'This' Place" gong provided by artist, Jamie Dillon. Air Cannon built by yours truly. Performance duration 1 hour 30 minutes.
The purpose of this performance was to acheive the act of anonymity while paying homage to another artist's work. I seated myself completely still for an hour and a half, then fired a tennis ball at the gong. The noise was LOUD & startling, though the set-up was obvious. Other areas of interest in this performance, institutional critque and gender roles.
