We're excited to present Physical Exercise, a live durational performance by Steacy Easton!About the performance:
In an attempt to ritualize and reclaim acts forced on disabled bodies, and to historicise work like Bruce Nauman’s "Walking in an Exaggerated Manner", or Alÿs’s "Paseo’s" I will perform a physical exercise at Factory Media Center. The plan is to bounce a red rubber ball against a wall in the gallery space, and then catch it 100 times. I will have to start over if I fail to catch the ball. The performance will be over when I have successfully caught the ball 100 times. It will be filmed via a live camera feed. People will be able to view the video, in real time, via a small screen in Factory Media Centre’s Studio space.
The performance will begin at 2pm and is free to attend. As this is a durational live performance, there is no set end time. We encourage people to arrive for and engage with the performance between 2-4pm. Factory Media Centre will also be sharing live updates on the status of the performance on our social media channels.
