stare
john rogers
An interactive live art piece that seeks to examine
and redefine the 'rules of engagement' between artist and audience.
On the night of the event the artist will make unbroken eye contact
with each member of the audience for a full 2 minutes.
Concerned with the often 'passive' role of the art object and the 'distant'
presence of the artist, John Rogers has here attempted to reverse the
balance. The art object has been removed from the equation and replaced
with a living installation that will look back directly into the eyes
of the viewer.
