What are you doing with your evening tomorrow? I'll tell you what you should do, come and watch "Snotlap" performed by Annie Abrahams PS1 at 19.30, that's what.
£4 full price and £3 for concessions (so us students), either on the door or from Campus Connect.
What's it about? I'm glad you asked.
"Performance – and net artist Annie Abrahams tackles the insult, she insults, is insulted and wants to be insulted. You can ask her why, but she won’t respond.
Snotlap is a Dutch argot word for handkerchief used when the artist was a little girl to insult schoolmates.
Snotlap is a performance about power relations, gender, taboos, childhood and fathers (and of course mothers), resistance and control, transcending interdictions and delivery.
Snotlap invites the public to join in, to experience insulting mediated by technologie using videostreaming technics. Is it different? Easier, hilarious, insulting, liberating? Makes it feel you powerful? Can you play with it? And why should you do it?"
Insults? Why the f**k not? We shall see you there!
