HURDLES - Live performance Oct 25. Istallation on view Oct 26-29 @ Art Toronto: arttoronto.ca
Commissioned by the Art Gallery of Ontario.
Exploring concepts of fairness, Tibi Tibi Neuspiel and Geoffrey Pugen will race over hurdles that the artists have constructed for the performance. Seven preliminary sprint heats will determine the setup for the eighth and final race. The winner of each heat will have an obstacle placed in their lane thereby creating a handicap for the following run. The objective is to create a level playing field for the final race, which ultimately determines the victor. Two butlers will coordinate the obstacles, champagne, and referee the event.
Special thanks to Charles Street Video, Clint Roenisch, Vanessa Maltese, Sophie Blumenthal, Rita Liefhebber, Georgia Dickie, and Atom Deguire.
