Abstract

This performance represents a form of reciprocation of a particular artwork whose functioning was dependent precisely on the responses of a viewing or participating public. However, where members of that broad-based public may have been content simply to play their small part, my response has attempted to produce (or perhaps that should be post-produce) my own artwork, which I present here as a form of ‘performance on the page’. I will introduce the original artwork in some detail first and then go on to my artwork-as-response as a form of postscript, whereby I should say that the latter probably raises more questions and opens more possibilities than it may seek to address with any rigour. I would defend this as a tactic since it replicates the form not only of the artist’s original work but the popular one that the artist concerned adopts, namely that of postcards.
