This performance was a reinterpretation of Joseph Beuy’s famous work, Wie man dem toten Hasen die Bilder erklärt, 1965. Mary and I made some important changes that better reflected our politics with respect to art engagment and interpretation: rather than an explanation, what I had with the stone I carried around was a conversation, one where the identity of the stone, and its taste, slowly reified over the three days I walked through the exhibition.

The performance was unannounced, and I did not engage with other visitors to exhibition, leaving it to them to decide what they were witnessing when I walked into a room.
