Description/Abstract:

A major show of contemporary artists exploring the role of chance processes in art. The show based around the ideas of John Cage features Yoko Ono, Kieth Tyson, Greig Burgoyne and Sara Sze. From film, installation, photography, performance and painting, Burgoyne presented two works for this show, 'sticky walk' and 'post-it note dance'. For the opening night he made a live performance 'Sticky walk'.
'Sticky walk', is Burgoyne led by walking on an amount of duct tape equal to the length of each gallery space. Where it will end the process decides, like the post-it note dance the performance concludes when Burgoyne has jumped, shaken off all the post-it notes form his body, albeit the rule being, he can't use his hands to assist him in that process. For the duration of the show, its trace and residual elements remain like post it notes on the floor next to the 'Post-it note dance' on the floor where they fell. 'Sticky walk' was presented as a large scale projection, while in the case of 'Post-it note dance' as a small scale enclosed flat screen presentation.
