Tuesday at noon begins a 24-hour performance reading in Occidental Park (Pioneer Square) of Haruki Murakami’s A Wild Sheep Chase, featuring D.K. Pan, NKO and Holly Brown.
While one person reads, another will transcribe the text on the exterior of a box truck while the third types the text on an endless roll of white paper.
from press release:
This overnight endurance performance serves to highlight and expose
the intensely private acts of reading and writing along with the
conflicting desires they engender. The relationships of voice, hand,
and typewriter become intertwined in the act of imprinting memory onto
a public site. A silent transformation occurs, unnoticed. A box truck
becomes an elephant, text escapes the confines of its pages; we awake
from a dream and find ourselves at the beginning of a journey.
Murikami’s tale of search, longing, and reconciliation serves as the
point of departure.More here.
