<br />
In preparation for my major project this year I am developing several experimental and experiential social practice food/dinner events. Your company and participation is requested at the first of these events:<br />
<br />
Bring A Stranger Dinner Party a social practice event<br />
<br />
The meal* and all refreshments will be provided. You are each however required to bring a vital component: a Stranger**. You have the day of the event, to find and enlist their attendance. I will do the same. Taking place at: Anytime Place, 20 Ovens St, Brunswick. <br />
<br />
Kind regards,<br />
Bethany J Fellows <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 85%;">* Three courses. I am an excellent cook and regularly cater for large groups (50+) in conceptual and formal capacities. References can be provided if the incentive is lacking. <br />
** Someone whom you do not know, one who is neither a friend nor acquaintance.<br />
<br />
Of key</span> interest is the strategies that participants take to find guests and the exchanges that take place.<br />

And so every one of us shares the supreme ordeal-carries the cross of the redeemer – not in the bright moments of his tribe’s great victories, but in the silences of his personal despair.”<br /><br />Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand FacesBethany J Fellowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04664769589751550676noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133227042732462233.post-64421737319715530632009-03-09T17:07:00.002+08:002009-03-09T17:10:15.181+08:00<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QL3YRpnm1jM&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QL3YRpnm1jM&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Bethany J Fellowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04664769589751550676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133227042732462233.post-58605444847901339002008-12-19T07:20:00.003+08:002008-12-19T07:26:41.229+08:00Leg Update<span style="font-family:courier new;">Leg currently (no scabs!).

Body modification is not a recent manifestation of modern performance art, it has a 50 year history that can easily be traced.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">2. Branding originates from a ritualistic tribal practise traditionally used to mark a rite of passage facilitating the journey from one life stage to another (typically into adulthood). A recognized and respected tradition, the individual undertaking a rite of passage was supported by the others in the community in order to be able to cope with the trials of such a process. It was an opportunity for celebration, and was regarded as a milestone in the life of the community and above all of the individual.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><span style="font-family:courier new;">Essentially the branding for me was an opportunity to externalise the pain that so many people feel, for those that are trapped in a system that they are not capable of escaping. It explicitly references so much that it seems redundant to even express a position about amongst other things: prison camps, slavery etc </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br />Many people have expressed disgust at the knowledge that I have received payments from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Centrelink</span>. Statistics from the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Centrelink</span> website state that they serve 6.5 million customers, that’s one-third of the Australian population whose stories are entirely unknown. Here’s a graph of the Australian population:</span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Tgz5nILrUOev-AajoYT-GlCifwkQlF5Fx74M7Ya3ts1VBt4tgDy6ps1uciK5SXQVzt1OT9-Mwu2iHnSfdHZQFpHhWaRL9LBR2FaELju0TtjV2JwWaqMZsCFHlEJQ_sOFr3vYPlIPrVg/s1600-h/bludger_chart.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274808777545559522" style="WIDTH: 192px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Tgz5nILrUOev-AajoYT-GlCifwkQlF5Fx74M7Ya3ts1VBt4tgDy6ps1uciK5SXQVzt1OT9-Mwu2iHnSfdHZQFpHhWaRL9LBR2FaELju0TtjV2JwWaqMZsCFHlEJQ_sOFr3vYPlIPrVg/s200/bludger_chart.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br />Is the work a lesser piece of art because of my intimate knowledge? If the work had been made by someone who worked at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Centrelink</span> it seems to me that they would not be labelled as an artist but rather a social crusader. And if I was neither a recipient or an administrator what qualifies me to make such a work at all? I would be merely meddling, taking an issue at hand and making art, like a first year university student enrolled in ART POLITICS 101.<br /><br />People have said that my willingness to undergo such suffering is a testament to my dedication, but I do not equate the pain I experienced to artistic integrity.<br />I do not play a character in my work. I am not a blank slate. I bring with me histories, flaws, pains and joys. I am first and foremost myself: a human being."</span><br /></span>Bethany J Fellowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04664769589751550676noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133227042732462233.post-64827076929829425872008-11-23T13:52:00.012+08:002008-12-01T21:17:11.882+08:00Branding documentation<span style="font-family:courier new;">402 807 197K went <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">smashingly</span> smooth, tho still causing a lot of controversy.

There was minimal fuss with security, The Law and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Centrelink</span> staff ("We can't have people burning themselves outside <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Centrelink</span>" a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Centrelink</span> employee was heard to exclaim halfway through the performance). The Artist's leg was strike branded a total of 33 times as she read out a letter to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Centrelink</span>. The performance went for approximately 10 minutes and spectators mostly said that the piece was very beautiful and moving but also nauseating. Bethany will post an Artist's statement later today. Her leg is healing well.<br /></span><div><div><br /><div><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/3047811010_e21bcbb5eb.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/3047811010_e21bcbb5eb.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3221/3047811230_377a74043b.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3221/3047811230_377a74043b.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/3047811342_69aee84770.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 375px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 500px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3281/3047811342_69aee84770.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/3046976145_bacf8a8ffd.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/3046976145_bacf8a8ffd.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/3047812160_48efa70ed1.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/3047812160_48efa70ed1.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3231/3047812470_f9f9576788.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 375px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 500px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3231/3047812470_f9f9576788.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3223/3046976375_a4ec7a15fe.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3223/3046976375_a4ec7a15fe.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/3047812784_68854a58c0.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/3047812784_68854a58c0.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/3047813076_9d407b32d3.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/3047813076_9d407b32d3.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3272/3046977661_c561d9f18a.jpg?v=0"><img style="WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 375px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3272/3046977661_c561d9f18a.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">CRN</span> later that night</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Courier New;"></span></div><div></div><div></div><div><div><div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Here's the letter Bethany read whilst she got burnt:</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Courier New;"></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Dear <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Centrelink</span>,</span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">Mood: Shackled, liberated, contrary<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;">I said I would never do this, I struggle so much in my life to be open in my communication, to give my words shape verbally and not scribed.

I cannot overstate how much you have informed and changed my life.

I feel so tied down and long for freedom. I want to share, be open, reveal all that I am: the dark cobwebby corners, not just an impish grin.
