Excuse the delay in making these posts, finding the time to write-up notes among all that is going on is proving to be a task in itself. The following posts are a round-up of the highlights so far.
PS2 Open Platform
During the day various performance projects occurred at PS2, the Open Platform space for FIX09. Anne Quail gave tailor made actions to members of the public in one-to-one sessions; a interesting experiment, bringing action art into the everyday life of the visitor. Elena Cassidy-Smith had installed a makeshift tea-room and offered free tea and cake in exchange for conversation and a secret shared in a small group format. Unfortunately my companions in our shared session all knew each other and were not particularly keen to divulge personal secrets. Hideous Beast provided a polite silver/tin service. Later on, when the night-life grew livelier, Noemi Lakmaier had two ‘weeble’ balls on the street outside. Into these two participants installed themselves and attempted to kiss, oblivious to the passers-by.
