Mythology Machine, 2004

live performance (with Georgetown University graduate students)
duration: approx.15mins

location: a temporary art gallery space at Georgetown University
description: In an assembly line fashion, the student/workers deconstructed Roland Barthes' Mythologies book and created a decorative chain out of the pages that was hung on the university's walls. The workers labored to a soundtrack of American blue-collar workman anthems such as Billy Joel's Allentown and Bachman-Turner Overdrive's Blue Collar.
