Gill Gatfield – Performance Painting

Performance Painting 2008 Blue Oyster Gallery, Dunedin NZ

Dunedin Performance Art Series 2008

Where performance art usually centres on the artist in the act of making or on mechanical and digital devices, Performance Painting continues to develop independently.  During an underground exhibition, the art objects relied on internal energy systems and attendance by gallery visitors.  Prick hovered and shimmered in the spotlight while Lawn (Otago) grew upwards, seeking light in the dark.
