Performprint
An exploration of masculinity including Andy Warhol, a Harley Davidson, and a live branding.
Overview
Performprint is FoLA's finest offering of the traditional extreme strain of live art. In a ten-hour durational work Joel Gailer and Michael Meneghetti will do everything from give printmaking lectures to perform a live branding on the former's skin. Of course, with a work so long it's hard to make any hard and fast judgment calls but the artists claim their main focus will be on masculinity and reproduction. Joel Gailer is in fact a printmaker by trade and will explore the intricacies and issues of Andy Warhol's Brillo boxes with the help of a Harley Davidson, a skateboard, and two warring live bands. Turn up any time in the day and make of it what you will.
