| Part description |
Nikki Millican meets the spatial needs of performers during the National Review of Live Art festival. Richard described his requirements to Nikki, who then allocated a suitable space; Bay 5 of the Arches. Richard describes the performance spaces at the festival as noisy, damp and distracting. but also as sites of amazing spectacle. There is lots of cross-performance and even train noise, with the Arches being sited beneath Glasgow's Central Station. Set up time may have been as short as two hours, time enough only to "do what you can". Richard is very aware of the pragmatic process of populating spaces at National Review: the audience decide which show to see, they are told when to enter and wander in. Richard draws the audience's attention to an audible, simultaneous performance at one point during I Never Done Enough Weird Stuff, incorporating a potential distraction into his own work. At another point during the performance, Richard appears to closely examine part of an interior wall of the space. He has little memory of this part of the work. |
