My New Art Project: RUB MY FEET
I began a new piece last night. It's called, RUB MY FEET, or RMF for short. Or maybe "Rub Me." I haven't decided yet.
In it, people rub my feet. So far, one at a time, but I am definitely up for trying multiple, simultaneous rubbers.
This piece blurs and inverts the role of audience and creator, artist and participant. Although I initiate the work, the rubbers are the artists and I, the rubee, am the audience. It is a commentary on the relationship between workers and capitalists, using the story of Christ washing those people's feet like he did that one time. It's something that only I can experience, but in which anyone can participate. Like a play put on for a lonely critic, there is only one person in the audience, but many actors.
So the next time I see you, I hope you will join in this creative political act and RUB MY FEET.
Contributors to the RMF project so far:
