It’s kind of Saatchi meets Liberace at a life drawing class.
‘Private view’ is a solo performance piece devised for the Private view of a visual arts exhibition.
The performer exploits the possibilities of the Gallery environment in his goal to become a work of art.
Inspiration, concept, preparation, craft, exhibition and sale are identified as key moments in the genesis of a work of art. The difference for the performer using his body: you’ve got it, you sell it, you’ve still got it!
‘Private view’ confronts personal desire in the place where contemporary art lies.
