TRUCK CAMPER: Letter Performance, Cécile Belmont, Calgary
September 8 to September 27, 2010
As part of Celebration of the Bow River 2010
A Letter Performance is made up of a group of local residents, each wearing a single letter drawn on their shirt, and coming together to build a sentence, which will address Calgary’s multifaceted relationship with the Bow River. During the performance, each participant simultaneously exists as an individual — with their own history and character — and as part of this collective action, celebrating what animates and identifies them. This work seeks to draw a portrait of the Bow River area through its users, exposing the specificities, memory, and the relationship of the inhabitants with their river. (more…)
