Meeting in the Market
meeting at the market
The next performance, a collaboration with Allan Kaprow, consisted of a broadly public invitation for the people of Joensuu to meet each other in pairs or groups in the town market over the first Saturday of the festival. A radio van in the market a provided access for market-goers to go on air to invite a friend to join them. Outlines of their bodies were traced by assistants as they lay on the ground, documenting the meeting in a way most unusual for the normally clean and conventional Finns. As the day ended stalls were removed revealing a chalk portrait that was swept away by a coordinated team of street walkers.
