Da Wu's Performance: 1


AIGHT. Here is somethings to quench your visual appetite.

To the left is a shot of rice on a banana leaf-which Da Wu later ingested.


Here is Da Wu's hand holding a tight little ball of rice. Ready for consumption.







Da Wu is just too cool.

He has been living with us for the past few weeks now. His exhibit is a constantly evolving piece.. or correct me if im wrong, time-based art. Da Wu will be doing a few performances throughout the Biennale, until its finish in November. He is now in London, editing a video, which will be added to the exhibit. Joel and I are feeling a bit lost without him furiously drawing in our living room, providing us with killer coffee's and fresh fruit (which is the sum total of my nutritional intake).

Here is Da Wu performing on the top of his alter. It is ridiculous how healthy and strong he is.













As I said before, the response to both of his performances (the pictures of the second performance will be added at a later date) have been really positive. The sad thing about the Biennale, is the lack of contact the visitor has with the artist after the opening. Recently, most of the visitors are tourists with no prior knowledge of contemporary art or what the Biennale is all about. So meeting and seeing Da Wu performing helped with their understanding of what contemporary art is was all about. And most importantly, the essence of his work.
