Performances:

Gestural painting

Description:

This is painting with eggs. Each egg is full of paint. The baton directs the dispersal of paint on the canvas. This is to go from “You the painter” to “the painter’s canvas.” There is a real mastery in the action, and the physical strength is put to the test. Visibly, this performance was performed several times (in 1996, in 2000 and perhaps also performed by Serge III).
