5. SHOP SOMEONE’S SHOP

 

I WILL SHOP THE ITEM LIST OF SOMEONE ELSES SHOPPING LIST.

I WILL USE A FOUND OR OBTAINED LIST (ONLY) FOR MY OWN WEEKLY SHOP.

 

This performance located me firmly out of my comfort zone as someone who diligently counts calories, plans meals, methodically food shops, budgets and hates mushrooms. After obtaining a receipt from a peer, I shopped the itemised list exactly and subsequently lived from it. This task altered my engagement within the everyday, interrupting my normality on at least three occasions a day. As an artist working from the everyday, this task integrated art and life so that there is no distinction between the studio workspace, art space and private space.
