The second of a series of three oratories in 2005. In response to a series of wedding themes paintings by Caroline Picard, I played the role of the best man for an evening. I greated guests at the door with a hug. I gave a toast, which consisted of a guided meditation. Our imagined post show break up was available on CD.

I facilitated a Valentine's Day performance evening at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My performance was a short drama structured by chance techniques taking material from texts including "Romeo and Juliet", "The Heart Sutra" and heart healthy exercise material.

I participated in a talent show organized by Khaela Maricich during a rock show. I came on stage as an inventor of the "Listening Corridor" and invited an audience member up on stage to "get something off their chest".

What can we expect as we approach old age? Multiple performances and daily maintenance activity over a three-week period. On the opening night, a tableau of bathers in old man wigs lounge in the space, slowly applying sunscreen that whites them out. During another performance, I create a shark fin out of paper plates and roam the space.

The third and most intimate of a series of three oratories I created in 2005. Guests are invited to sit with me and are asked what they are looking for at this reception. I help them find their political, pro-art message and practice spinning conversations in support of the arts.

Guests entered one at a time and spit chewing gum at me while making a wish. Costumed as a baby swallow, I attempted to catch the gum in my beak.

The performance consists of a spoken meditation upon items collected in my studio over two years of graduate school. The audio was recorded and then played back in the space over the three-week installation. Visitors are encouraged to exchange items in the space for ones they bring, and make account of their exchange in a ledger outside the installation room.
