Description: Nine days of living on a stationary boat
and not leaving the grounds of Country Village (a concentrated
area filled with specialty shops, an antique store, glass blowing
studio,wine shop, day spa and restaurants in a stress-free garden
setting complete with ducks, rabbits and roosters). A cot, a desk,
a typewriter, clothing (nautical attire) and necessary toiletries
were the only items brought with me, all other needs were met
by Country Village: food, restroom facilities, entertainment,
etc. The desire to reside in the boat at Country Village comes
from an artistic drive and a strong sense of nostalgia for the
silence and serenity of the rural setting that I grew up in. Temporarily
residing in, or inhabiting public spaces has been an ongoing theme
in my work since the 2004 group show titled, Domicile: a Sense
of Place at the Center on Contemporary Art, in that group
show I lived in the gallery for 40 days.
This performance was made possible by: Country
Village & 4Culture
