2012 Exhibition
27. Let’s Dance
Let’s Dance is a spontaneous collaboration between you and me. Together we will create a multimedia dance party, where the music and visuals are curated by me and manipulated by you. Get ready to be an artist, a dancer, a club kid, a VJ, a photographer, a DJ, a wall flower, or whatever you feel like. Let’s Dance will blur the lines between artist and spectator, art show and party; allowing us to question what is art, and what is our relationship to it.
