Georgia Nelson and Laura Eldret

Performance Lesson

Le Belle Chaise, Nantes, France, 2009

Commissioned to deliver a performance sculpture lesson to the town's people of Nante, in collaboration with artist Georgia Nelson, as part of the 'Le Belle Chaise' festival. The event also included a  "christo" esque wrapping of the town fountain, a mass workshop where many mini wrapped works were produced and an accompanying series of four posters featuring artist's quotes:

"When a noise bothers you, listen to it" John Cage

"Do all oceans have walls?"- Laurie Anderson

"For me sculpture is the body. My body is my sculpture" - Louise Bourgeois

"Sculpture is something you bump into when you back up to look at a painting."  - Ad Reinhardt
