SKIN
October 2001 / ECIAD Concourse Gallery

Skin: explorations of surface and identity was an exhibition curated by Norma (then called the "Skin Arts Collective") featuring interdisciplinary work by second year students at ECIAD. The exhibition opened with a collective performance wherein the audience was invited to duct tape the artists to the wall. The performers remained inside their 'cocoons' until they became too uncomfortable to continue, at which point they cut themselves out with scissors or blades. The performance lasted three hours
