AMERIKA by Mike Parr
ABOUT THE PROJECT
In 1979 as part of the Biennale of Sydney, Director Ren� Block planted a
tree on behalf of Joseph Beuys at the front of the Art Gallery of New
South Wales. A commemorative stone was laid which has since disappeared
and the significance of the site has become lost to the memory of the
city.
At the base of this art-historical tree, Mike Parr enacts his next Bride
performance. Parr will have the stump of his left arm �gilded� in gold
leaf. Over five days, he will sit and rest this golden arm upon the tree
for as long as possible while a live feed is broadcast into the theatre
at Performance Space.
This one-off event by Australia�s pioneer performance artist is open to
the public continuously at both sites, 24 hours a day.
12 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED 9 - 13 MAY, 2006

period. We are looking for two sets of volunteers - one group for
Performance Space and the other for the Art Gallery of NSW.

INTIMATE TRANSACTIONS by Transmute Collective
Two players in distant locations experience an intense physical
connection... The Transmute Collective's groundbreaking interactive
installation invites players into a dark void to meet other players. Step
onto the BodyShelf, play and witness the flow of vision and text produced
by your remote relationship. Physical gestures create spectral, coloured
images, sound and text as each player gains a sensory awareness of the
web connecting them to another.
The Transmute Collective's interest in ecological science, philosophy,
dance and new technologies has generated this immersive installation.
Intimate Transactions has toured to Ars Electronica Festival, Austria,
the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London and BIOS, Athens Greece. This
work is a collaboration between new media artist Keith Armstrong,
choreographer/performer Lisa O�Neill and sound artist Guy Webster.

I was talking to Sally from Performance Space today and she was encouraging me to volunteer, which I was thinking about doing anyway [was worried about the fact I work nights but this doesn't seem to matter]... which do you reckon is the better job Mr Jasper?
Depends on how much you want to be involved in the work.
Mike Parr project will be minding -like gallery minding- and might not always be exciting. Though you will witness an amazing work unfold.
The Initmate Transactions project will involve you leading audience members into the work and starting the program. Alot more happening there, not much time to read a book!
