Past Events – 2003
(Being) One Thing at a Time,
August-November 2003
Various locations, Montreal,
Quebec
(Being)
One Thing at a Time is a three-part interdisciplinary project.
In the first stage I documented my dishrack and portraits of
myself reflected in my bedroom between November 2001 and November
2003. In the second stage, I carried out a series of six performance
interventions in public places (which have been photographed
and videotaped) around the city of Montreal over August, September
and November 2003. The third stage, still in progress, will
be the integration and exhibition of photos and video alongside
a final public performance, date and location TBA. MORE

2003
Parc Alphonse-Télesphore-Lépine
in Montreal, Quebec, as part of a Galerie B-312 performance
evening
Attached my five scale-model SUVs
by string to my neck, wrists and ankles. The ones I will never
ever own, the ones that I am slowly in the process of exploiting
and destroying. Issued infraction tickets to the park-goers
and showed, by example, that your stuff really drags you down. |

HOTEL, May 2003
The Holiday Inn, Edmonton, Alberta,
as part of the Visualeyez performance festival
Individual
encounters between "performer" and "audience"
in a hotel room. The "audience" (comprised of one
person) was invited to choose a performance by selecting an
item from a list of titles/offerings. Ensuing interactions lasted
anywhere from approximately three to fifteen minutes in this
piece that explored notions of intimacy, risk and blurred boundaries
between the role of "artist" and "spectator." |

Untitled,
April 2003
Captain Snooze,
Melbourne, Australia
What happens when five people go shopping for one bed? A direct
lead-up to the current performance series Being, this
site-specific intervention bluntly attempted to disrupt quotidian
behaviours and expectations within a place of business. |

Evidence
III (Some French Fries With That Mr. President?), April 2003
Gallery Para Globe, Tokyo, Japan,
as part of the four-person exhibition Invisible Others
Putting forth rows and rows of french
fries standing upright in their signature red boxes, this neat
and tight formation confronted the audience. The audience members
— armed with cutlery distributed from my cutlery dress
— were ordered to drop their weapons, effectively making
them defenceless in the face of the MacDonald's army. Then the
attack. |
