Oliver Herring: Participant Davis Thompson-Moss | Art21 "Exclusive"
Loading...
Uploaded by art21org on Aug 28, 2009
Episode #071: Artist Davis Thompson-Moss discusses his experiences appearing as a performer, alongside his brother, in two videos by Oliver Herring: "BASIC" (2003) and "THE DAY I PERSUADED TWO BROTHERS TO TURN THEIR BACKYARD INTO A MUD POOL" (2004).
Among Oliver Herrings earliest works were his woven sculptures and performance pieces in which he knitted Mylar, a transparent and reflective material, into human figures, clothing and furniture. Since 1998, Herring has created stop-motion videos, photo-collaged sculptures, and impromptu participatory performances with off-the-street strangers, embracing chance and chance-encounters in his work.

THANKS for posting - looks like a great time. Mudplay as performance art - why not?
