Chris
Sucks the Marrow Out of Life
Mon. Sept. 4th 9am
Venue:Streets of Old City
In this piece, Chris will go around the city and do things that
are commonly considered life-enriching, e.g. sailing, museum-
and library-going, eating local cuisine, walking in the parks,
drinking, and visiting historical sites. The idea is to do as
much as possible in one day (or possibly a week). Photographs
(not video) will be taken of Chris during all these activities.
These will be collected and printed as a Wildrick Mini Book, a
series of 2.5" x 3" books Chris is creating.

Every
Day I think of You
click here
Venue:outside of Nexus - telephone 137 N. 2nd St.
Walk past the telephone in this visual installation, and it
rings. Answer it! A voice begins to read one of three love poems
beginning with, 'Every day I think of you,' and what was private
becomes public. The technology simultaneously facilitates both
communication and anonymity.

The
Fringe Circles
click here
Venue:National Showroom 113-131 N. 2nd Street
In this abstract addition to the Visual Fringe, a gong announces
the beginning of the new fringe day. The circles are an invitation.
A primordial expression of transience appears. The slow release
from past entanglements proceeds. With all apparent fear and courage
we move toward the new.

Homage
to Electric Light
click here
Venue: Otto Design 222 Vine St.
In appreciation of the humble light bulb, this visual installation
uses an amalgamation of found objects, flow-charts and concept
maps alongside images and text about electric light delivered
wryly in a pseudo-scientific way. The goal? The glorification
of the often-overlooked beauty and depth of electric light.

Peddling
Ideas

Venue:across 3rd street
Look up! In this visual homage to bike couriers, the buildings
of Old City will be linked with tightropes and topped with teetering
bicycles. What they carry and where they are going is always a
mystery, but the importance of bike couriers cannot be denied.

Putting
Off the End of the World
Mon. Sept. 4th 9am
Venue:3rd & Arch Streets 3rd & Arch Streets
In this performance, Chris will push with all his might against
an immovable object in an easterly direction (against earth's
entropy arrow). The object is to help the earth's rotation and
keep it from devolving into an entropic state, thus putting off
the end of the world.

The
Patch You Never Gave Me For The Hole You Left Behind
click here
Venue: Noeware Gallery 305 3rd St.
Using mirrors and video projecting body parts and other images,
Leister explores our boundaries - physical, emotional and psychological.
Questioning how we protect our edges and what occurs when they
lose definition, these states of visibility and invisibility,
both self-imposed and socially constructed, are at the core
of this work.

SugarCoat

Venue: 211-217 Race St.
In this yummy site-specific environmental art piece, frosting
is used to decorate a building front to create an urbanscape
which appears and disappears in front of the participants' eyes.
Emphasizing process over product, the aim is to question the
traditional practices of landscape architecture, using illustrations
that have one specific moment or stage.
