performance: duration 30 hours; video documentation extracts above – 3 hours 13 mins
A thirty-hour performance for the thirtieth anniversary, which the public could view until 3am and then again the following day from 9am.
From the original Festival website:
@ the time of writing – @ the time of imagining future forward thinking – About the passing of thirty – About what matters – About what seems hopeful – Is an idea of passing through the colours of passing time – Existing within a series of liminal transitions that will cross thresholds, boundaries and transformations.
Oh yeah, it’s a party – frock up.
Based in Manchester, Michael Mayhew makes art from his studio – ‘art’ – He is known for taking a step into the unknown and returning with something that could move people and change them, as well as altering how we see things. He is considered to be “a conduit for other people’s stories, a vessel others pass through” as well as being “one of the most original and searching artists in the UK”. He attacks complacency and it has been said that his work is “difficult, provocative, challenging and winds people up” but that it is also “important, significant and influential”.
Michael has now created The Food Library – Grow Food: Cook Food: Eat Food. Looking at sustainable futures and feeding the community.
