Performances and The Kitchen]
Sixteen
selected artists were asked to create and execute a series of "momentary
performances" to take place in various locations throughout
the Chelsea District of Manhattan. Each peformance took place on
July 28th exactly at Noon. Each artist was free to orchestrate any
imaginable performance following six simple rules:
1. Each performance must happen in the Chelsea District of Manhattan.
2. Each performance must happen exactly at Noon.
3. A specific location/site must be decided for the performance.
4. Each performance must be executed by the artist that created
it.
5. Each performance must be momentary.
6. Each performance must "graze" reality and appear to
be life-like in its manner.
