On Sunday I saw a five hour installation by La Ribot called Laughing Hole. Performers plastered a room in a museum with cardboard signs and fell in and out of uncontrollable fits of laughter. It was something like a lunatic asylum. I wonder if whatever we make could have this durational quality as I'm finding this interesting in my own work and it might be a departure for other members of the group. I know Tim made a four hour performance and Active Ingredient have created projects that last 28 days. We could then think about what a 'fun context' for the work might be - a museum, a gallery, an outside space etc. It would be interesting to see how we could find a form and duration that suits the subject matter. e.g. a long piece exploring the notion of delay. The reason I chose this image is I think it should be a fun context and I like this combination of words. The light adjective and the heavy noun. On friday I am performing a show inspired by the Sound of Music in a double bill with a piece inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow up. I find I am always a part of this dichotomy. The work inhabits a world somewhere between the amateur and the academic. But whatever it is I like it to be fun.
