"Collaborative Silverware” is an installation and performance piece for 2 performer, 1 table, 2 plates, and food (a national or regional dish would be best). The two performers have a set of silverware available to eat their food, yet the silverware is enlarged, not so much in size, but in length. The 36 inch-spoons and forks (and knives) will prove themselves to be too long to feed oneself individually. To utilize them properly, the two performers have to feed each other.
The happening (and video documentation) could take place on the day of the public opening. The installation (and video thereafter) is supposed to stay within the exhibition space for the full exhibition period; the documentary will be made available as a video shortly after the performance took place.
The silverware will be produced ahead of time and will be installed with 2 plates, 1 table with table cloth and 2 chairs from the beginning of the exhibition. The performance (incl. food such as salt potatoes, 2 performer - possibly faculty members) will take place during the exhibition.
