softpyramid:Tehching HsiehOne Year Performance (Cage Piece)September 29, 1978 -September 30, 197911′6″ × 9′ × 8’ wooden cage, wash basin, lights, a pail, single bedNo talking, reading, writing or musicNotarized by Robert ProjanskyThe artist is caged. The artist punches a time clock. The artist takes part in the banalising ritual of murdering time with dead labor. Art is ultimately shown, in the specular state, to be a corollary of alienated labor. And to forget this is at best an unforgivable romanticism and at worst a conscious act of vulgar trickery. -- source link
