Plastique Fantastique!



Went to Portsmouth for the day for the Plastique Fantastique performance at Aspex Gallery, which my friends Lawrence and Dav were performing in. They paraded along the wharf-front shopping mall wearing masks and chanting and performing strange rituals, thereby offending or confusing most of the shoppers. Dav's mask (above left) is The Venice Biennale, and Lawrence (right) modelled his on the yellow panels where you swipe your Oyster cards on the Tube. It feels amazing to be going to these performances and participating when two years ago I was obsessively reading about Plastique Fantastique on the internet but never dreamt I'd meet them.
