Marker

Fix 07, Catalyst arts, Belfast. 2007

2 Hours Duration

The work Marker was selected for Fix 07 Performance Biennale as part of Catalyst arts Belfast.

Conway performed shading in his entire body in black marker from head to toe. In trying to achieve this it involved him moving from classical poses to one of a contortionist. He used a mirror to assist his ability to view areas covered by the marker, this also allowed the audience to view him from behind and in front at the same time.

The idea, of drawing himself in or is it out, as he refers to, it being a playful contradiction. Finding himself in life drawing poses in trying to achieve his objective he also found ironic.
