I saw a tweet about this new performance piece – which involves “performers” jiggling one of their legs on display for 5 minutes a time, for ever 15 minutes - and didn’t know whether to LOL or put my name down to volunteer as an excuse to work on my calves. Nevermind the fact that one of my legs might end up looking freakishly swollen, this experiment is all in the name of artistic exploration, examining how performance can connect with visual art in the context of an exhibition. Big up Jack Strange, the man behind this vision, as well as fellow artists Edwin Ashton and Bedwyr Williams who have their own curious offerings on show.
