every day from the 13th - 18th of September 2005

8 pm - 10 pm

 

The evolutionary shedding of bio-science • an analysis
visual, sound, performing arts installation

The advancement of waste management has evolved in society beyond the capacity of the land. Today our reserve and compassion for the environment has led to a conscious revaluation of reality.

Visual, sound and performing artists submerge together into an interactive multi-media arts adventure in the vast basement of the Foundry. Over five days The Washroom Projects (TWP) will develop one installation per day based on five themes (skin, captured, courage, moment of truth, sacrifice). By the end of each performance and composite TWP will compose a complete analysis.

All invited artists come prepared with their own individual concept regarding the theme of the day. During the two-hour process in the basement all concepts merge into each other via visual, sound and performing interaction in order to create one final installation. This installation is the frozen state of art which you see in museums and galleries. TWP want to concentrate on the process of art and its traces which inspire a new creation. Every new day rises from the remains (frozen installation) of the previous day. On the last day (Sunday, 18th of September) there won't be any performances. It is the end of the process, an accumulation of traces of a culture that has come to an end...
