Sat 7 – Tue 31 May
Free Online Project
Ten performers will be placed in different parts of Bristol at different hours of the day on Sat 7 May with the challenge to describe everything they see and hear. These descriptions, recited like prayers, will delve into the people, attitudes, architecture, habits, sounds, smells and impressions of Bristol.
All ten audio recordings will then be available for download, to listen, reproduce and combine online from 9 May at http://doragarcia.org/rezos/bristol
Dora García has been chosen to represent Spain in the 2011 Venice Biennale.
