SHOWING WITHOUT GOING

Scores

Actions, ideas and activities can take the form of propositional texts - often in the form of directions or a guide - allowing the artistic work to be realised by other people without the involvement of the primary maker.

Past liveness re-conjured

I think that it's interesting that this piece can exist in a live way if you simply read out the rules. The projection or threat of the resulting event is already quite palpable, but that a group of people once actually did do this (apparently true - there are photos) somehow grounds it even more - like the weight and inertia of that drunken evening is carried through into the here and now, simply through reading out the instructions / rules of the so-called 'game' - not least of course because the 24-hour news cycle has not stopped since they originally played it.
