1978 (untitled) performance with amplified typing

(untitled) performance with amplified typing  1978

 

In the gallery for one week typing a narrative of events as they unfolded around me.  An exterior speaker amplified the sound of the typing, the over-amplified and echoing pounding on the keys carried the distance of the block.
