I found this tutorial very helpful. I felt that hearing everyone's ideas and progression, clarified linking ideas between some of us which is really exciting. I feel Vicky, Kerry and I have strong linking ideas such as identity. We talked about the group activities such as the table top sale and reflected on how that had helped us bond as a group and boosted our confidence with interacting with the public. Hannah suggested we look at Marina Abamovic for her performance work. One of her interactive pieces involves her sitting at a table in the gallery space and people being invited to come and sit opposite her and making eye contact for the duration they sit there. The clip below shows Marina's ex sat opposite her, after not seeing each other for years. It's really moving and put a lump in my throat. Its really interesting as people it makes people feel uncomfortable and provokes emotion.
Again a few people didn't attend the tutorial which is a shame as I have no idea what their ideas are, but not to worry, I the rest of us will continue to get stuck in.
