NEW WORK ******** "THE DAFFODILS" - a performance-work by S�amas Cain - was performed at dawn on August 19th, 2002, in the Sculpture Garden of the Walker Art Center, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The script for the performance may be examined at <http://seamascain.writernetwork.com>.
There is controversy and debate throughout the city of Bangkok, Thailand. Will the city-authorities build a car-park for an art museum - or an art museum for a car-park?! In response, artists have created a site-specific Art Installation called "FREE PARKING." The artists want to "turn this exhibition-space into a parking area! The existing space remains unchanged - it is merely inhabited differently. In turn, it is also entirely possible to enter car-park spaces to create new and different situations without changing the original function of the place. It�s a question of how to engage people through the experience of art within the integral experience of the city." "FREE PARKING, a performance-work" by S�amas Cain - written in conjunction with the Art Installation - was presented on August 14 through August 31, 2002 at the Art Gallery of the Centre of Academic Resources for Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. The script for the performance may be examined at <http://seamascain.writernetwork.com>. "SEATURTLES" - a performance-work by S�amas Cain - was performed at dawn on August 10th, 2002 by Mary Roe O'Neill at the sea-level megalith of Creevykeel in County Sligo, Ireland. Mary Roe O'Neill spoke the words of the script. Then - ritually, throughout Creevykeel - she guided the audience in a hunt for seaturtles!
