Wad, San Francisco, CA, February, 2002
This documents one of the many performances that I did while wearing the uniform that I deconstructed in The Service Series. In February 2002, I did a performance as part of a group event at the Belazo Gallery in San Francisco, CA. For this piece, I entered the performance area dressed in my busboy uniform. In my back pack I had a small cassette player and a jar of orange ear plugs. I placed the cassette player on the floor and played The Christmas Song by The Chipmunks. While the music was playing, I stuffed the ear plugs into my mouth. Once all the ear plugs were in my mouth I stood silently until the song was over. I then expelled all of the ear plugs out of my mouth onto the gallery’s floor and walked out of the room.
