NOW TAKING YOUR REQUESTS...RE/DO IT TODAY!! http://redoit.kathryncornelius.com/contact/
From the Arlington Arts Center Press Release written by Jeffry Cudlin, Director of Exhibitions...
"ReDO IT is an artwork that employs Twitter, webcams, and video projections to connect the artist in her studio with a live gallery audience at the Arlington Arts Center located in Arlington, VA. The event will take place on December 12 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm as part of the AAC's show about art, mass production, and commerce entitled UNLIMITED EDITION. Washington, DC-based performance artist Kathryn Cornelius will stay home in her studio. Not to worry, though. She'll be transmitting a performance piece live via webcam to be projected onto the walls of the AAC. For ReDO IT, Cornelius will upend the typical model of artistic production and authority, allowing gallery-goers to direct her actions, turning her into a sort of service provider. Anyone who chooses to do so can send instructions for Cornelius to act out-via Twitter, through e-mails prior to the night, or at a web terminal conveniently set up in the gallery. All of the instructions will appear projected on one wall as they are updated. On theadjoining wall, viewers will see Cornelius interpret her audience's directives.
More information on how to participate can be found on a website designed by the artist specifically for the project: http://redoit.kathryncornelius.com
Cornelius is known for pieces that create a strange, phantom territory at the edges of the art world: From offering massages at one art fair; to staging a faux red carpet event at another; to masquerading as a one-woman arts corridor cleaning company, Cornelius is often darkly funny, never boring, and typically whip-smart." - Jeffry Cudlin, Director of Exhibitions @ the Arlington Arts Center
