O U I Performance is proud to present the work of performance artist Sandra Johnston. Situated in historic Bedern Hall, York, a 14th century building originally part of the College of the Vicars Choral of York Minster, Johnston will present a durational work in response to the site. Johnston works in site-responsive actions, video/audio installations and durational drawings. The performance actions could be seen as propositions of compulsive communication, developed from the direct revelations of a body inhabiting space, light and motion, often in correspondence to the behaviour of others. Often there is a sense of inventing privacy, then a precise protecting of its parameters. Each work is a search for fluidity and clarity in the present moment. Johnston has presented work internationally since 1992 in a diverse range of contexts and interdisciplinary forms, including representing Northern Ireland at the Venice Biennale in 2005. The event is free. Performance starts at 2pm, this is a durational performance for 2 hours, you may come and go throughout. Kindly supported by York St John University.
