<i>Demonstrations</i> is a set of works that combines thirteen online videos, specifically on YouTube, with video documentation of twelve live-art performances that ‘un-work’ the original thirteen online videos. The demonstrations research different kinds of ‘trace’ through combined methods that use body (subjective, communal), DIY performance, scores, video documentation, participation and event; they invoke audiences to do (or try) incomplete works that, inherently, seem un-working, mundane, politically ambiguous, and thus ‘inoperative’.<div><br></div><div>This item contains thirteen video demonstrations which were first presented online on a Youtube channel called <i>Demonstrations</i>. </div><div><br></div><div>1. <b>How to outline through elastic and red tape</b> – Demonstration 1 (2016)</div><div>2. <b>How to saw wooden posts and become foot-vacuumed</b> – Demonstration 2 (2016)</div><div>3. <b>How to eat and be seen through a pretzel</b> – Demonstration 3 (2016)</div><div>4. <b>How to picture skies, faces and ceilings</b> – Demonstration 4 (2016)</div><div>5. <b>How to wrap and show one’s arms</b> – Demonstration 5 (2017)</div><div>6. <b>How to spill coffee and step over grounds</b> – Demonstration 6 (2018)</div><div>7. <b>How to bag one’s air</b> – Demonstration 7 (2017)</div><div>8. <b>How to make sufficient supplies</b> – Demonstration 8 (2020)</div><div>9. <b>How to rub coins and fingers through papers</b> – Demonstration 9 (2018)</div><div>10.<b> How to measure things with sticks and stones</b> – Demonstration 10 (2018)</div><div>11. <b>How to bore</b> – Demonstration 11 (2019)</div><div>12. <b>How to stretch</b> – Demonstration 12 (2019)</div><div>13. <b>How to evacuate</b> – Demonstration 13 (2019)</div><div><br></div><div>The videos can also be viewed on Luzar's Youtube channel via this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRj5oxJ8S6_f74z8dMKrXf_GPMGN5RH3P"> link</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>Videos used courtesy of Robert Luzar.
