Wounded Furniture

 

Event Score #15 (1965)

by Alison Knowles

 

This piece uses an old piece of furniture in bad shape. Destroy it further, if you like. Bandage it up with gauze and adhesive. Spray red paint on the wounded joints. Effective lighting helps. This activity may be performed with one or more performers, and simultaneously with other events.

Re-performed by Tisch Photography and Imaging Multimedia Students in the Tisch Common Room, September 27, 2011.
