RUN BABY RUN @ Whitechapel Gallery

I met up with a bunch of loonatics called the Washroom Projects throuhg the Performance Company I have been working with. Directed by Jay Rechsteiner we put on an audience interactive performance with a projection and some soundscapes. This took place at the The Wormhole Saloon 2 on the 17th March at the Whitechapel Gallery.
Although being nervous about the improvisational aspect of the work and the prestigue of the stage I found the rest of the evenings lack of happenings to make it boring and thus anything we did would be exciting. This was true but all in all it was not the greatest success. The audience reaction was mixed. Mad and weird but very unprofesional and studenty.
This is the last project held by the Washroom Projects and I am happy to have been involved in an event at Whitechapel and aslo to realise that improvisational work is not exactly my bag.

Origami Payslips

Artists who have changed their art economy from Sole Traders into PLCs. Must make their moneys public. If I can source these and print them out I can make origami sculptures of the documents to comment on this development from art to commodity.

Orchestra of Anxiety is a performance using materials of surveilance systems. A harp made from barbed wire and projections and audio of guard dogs.
I emailed these guys and they said they would be happy to involve me in future work when they return from their travels.....Sound

CMTV

This is the title I will use for my CCTV related work. Closed Circuit Television becomes Closed Minded Television. This hints at the controling nature of television and the gallery system. It also refers to GMTV, and suggests about the everyday influence of TV in our lives. I do believe it is a bit negative. The work is supposed to act as a comment on culture and not an attack.
The performance piece will have two musicians. One singing Hank Marvins Heartbeat ( used by ITV for the TV show) the other will play Tony Heart's Heartbeat (kids TV artshow). The violinist will play into a mic in a dummy CCTV camera to trigger video footage of a gallery surveilance system and the signger will sing into a mic in a TV remote control to trigger video off of TV. The song refers to the nature of human life, the organic creature and the mathematical dictations of life. The geometric nature and institute of art education and the gallery compared with the beauty of innocent creation. Both shown in mediums of mass consumption, the TV and the computer screen.
This is art. Art is on the wall. Spot goes to art. Spot is happy...
