For this exercise I used Richard Serra's verb list to brainstorm. From the list I chose the verbs To Open, To Crumple, and To spray. For the verb To Open I simply opened a door and took photos in sequence. For the verb To Crumple I simply crumpled a piece of paper and took photos of the actions in a sequence. For the verb To Spray I sprayed myself with my plant's mister and took a photo of the reaction. This exercise certainly helps with thinking about performance art. From this exercise I can gauge that good performance art is summed up to emotion and reaction. The rawness of a moment perhaps.
