Public Acts: Tombstone (let's get over this): Acts of Making Festival 2015, Wolverhampton, Gateshead, & Plymouth.
Public Acts brings together 2 projects that through temporary public intervention, seek to alter perceptions of our daily interactions in public spaces, turning the functional and recreational into acts both poetic and performative.
This item contains a project outline, a festival brochure, 2 developmental drawings,12 images of Tombstone in 3 UK locations and 5 Plymouth College of Art exhibition views.
Tombstone (lets get over this) was commissioned by the Crafts Council for their Acts of Making Touring Festival in 2015. Harrison was 1 of 6 invited contemporary artists whose work approaches the act of making in performative and ephemeral ways. Tombstone (let's get over this) was a collaborative performance work developed and performed at two urban skate parks as well as a public skate event in Bilston town centre. The project invited skateboarders to become makers in the grinding of a specially made stone bench as a form of social sculpture.
