PERFORMANCE ART SOCIETY (2014)

Performance Art Society was a collaboration between me and my son Anton (10 years), my colleague performance artist Tuomas Laitinen and his son Ilari (11 years). It started from the interest into performance art shared by the adults and the kids. The adults were interested in performance as a pedagogical tool, the kids wanted to have fun while making wild performances.

We had two starting points for our working: historical and material. For the historical, we studied together the history of performance art used that for inspiration for our practice.

We had one public performance “Are you ready, Bruce?” that was performed public twice in Helsinki: 27.4. at Esitystaiteen markkinat and 17.5. at Eskus Demonights.
