I will crawl on my hands and knees, my face and fingers in the dust and dirt. Crawling, I will exit the biped world, relinquishing verticality and the customary plane of society. I will move slowly, perhaps painfully, aware of my body’s awkwardness. Conscious of the detail, detritus and texture of my passage, the aromas and acoustics of movement close to the ground, I will crawl a complete circuit of the lake of Alexandra Palace Park.
My crawl will be the antithesis of a march. One year ago I marched around the same lake’s circumference – bold, public, declamatory, protesting. My crawl will embody the private, the broken, the beaten, the small and the slow.
During the exhibition visitors are invited to perform their own crawl. A letter of invitation will be available in the Park Café, or download a copy here.
You can view posts here about my Banner March, which was performed in 2009 as part of 'Good News', in Alexandra Palace Park.
‘Look Harder’ will be open from Saturday 29th May to Sunday 6th June, in and around Lakeside Cafe and the lake in Alexandra Palace Park.
The private view is on Saturday 29th May from 5pm to 8pm.
‘Crawl’ will take place on Saturday 29th May 2010 at 7pm, around the lake at Alexandra Palace Park.
Transport to Alexandra Palace Park:
Overground Train to Alexandra Palace (e.g. from Kings Cross or Old Street station), or the tube to Wood Green.
Then take the W3 bus towards Finsbury Park and get off at Alexandra Palace Ice Rink.
The lake and Lakeside Cafe is 5 minute’s walk from there.
