CALENDAR OF EVENTS | SEPTEMBER 2008

LIVE
Lee Walton
Monday, 1 September | 2 PM, 4 PM & 6 PM

Lee Walton is sometimes described an 'experientalist'. In projects that aim to forge new relationships and experiences, his work incorporates many media, from drawings and game/system based structures to video, web-based performances, public projects, and theatrical orchestrations. Walton has made work for institutions including Reykjavik Art Museum of Art (Iceland), Art in General (New York), Socrates Sculpture Park (New York), and Island #6 (China). In 2007, he participated in 'On Being an Exhibition' at New York's Artists' Space, where his street performance, Hillary Weidemann: Living Record, was witnessed only by the gallery manager. Described by Weidemann as "the most lovely and unexpected walk around New York that I have ever experienced," the work existed only through her memory and oral accounts.

For LIVE, Walton performs a series of unplanned actions on The Power Plant's lakefront terrace on Labour Day, bringing his characteristic playful inventiveness to anything that he encounters, from people, to places, to objects.
