This Performance work was part of a Glasgow art
festival during the month
of October 2001. This work prayed upon the mundane routine of a
city street
where the same activities are played over and over each day. I wanted
to represent this monotony by dressing up like a women I know who
has a degenerative mental illness. I presented myself behind a door
and frame
(which I constructed) and smiled in the style of Jack Nicholson
in the Shinning. This work was most enjoyable if not a little frightening,
the level of engagement with the public was very high. My mutant
instillation was received mostly on a
humours level.
Polite conversation is encouraged.
