Performanctallation

Performanctallation: Chewed up and Spit out




Art School Eats Paper.
Students draw on it, professors grade on it, attendance is taken on it, bills are printed on it, contracts are signed on it, it's used, discarded, shredded, and recycled.

In my installation I use the byproduct of discarded documents from the office I'm employed at and arranged it in my installation sight to create an undulating organism.  The life of a document is temporary, just as the life of a sight specific installation; in the same way that I relocated resources from one area of my life (work) into another(art) to transform what once was trash into art,  in my performance I transform what once was art, back into trash.
