Far West Live

Pacific Avenue

To mark Far West, Arnolfini Live has brought together artists who concoct and challenge East and West stereotypes to dig into the fissures between us.

Far West is a major cross artform project exploring the neww cultural and economic relationships that are emerging as the economic centre of the world shifts towards the East. The project includes exhibitions, off site presentations, performance, film and a range of talks and events.

Minneapolis-based conceptual artist Marcus Young offers a counterpoint to the object and commodity focus of the Far West exhibition with a work that takes place outside the traditional and institutional definitions of art. Following previous performances in cities across the world Hong Kong-born Young brings his project Pacific Avenue to the streets of Bristol. Young performs modest acts of extreme slowness to disrupt the usual urban city pace and the way people relate to one another causing reactions ranging from intrigue to bewilderment. The work is created primarily for an accidental audience: those who just happen upon the performance.
