BIBLE ASS
Performance: Glass Curtain Gallery, Chicago. November, 2003
Duration 45 minutes
This piece was presented within a series of actions entitled ‘Rollin’.

In the Gallery I conducted ‘deaf’ conversations with people by writing in marker pen over the pages of a bible: ‘Hi how ya doin?!’; garnering somewhat cagey responses such as ‘Yeah - I’m good’ and so on.

Upon concluding the brief ‘conversation’ I tore the pages from the bible, screwed them into a ball and smeared them with Vaseline. Reaching down the back of my trousers I inserted the pages into my ass.
This action caused a fuss among certain members of the audience, with someone apparently calling for police notification.
