You might wonder why we’re posting details of a football match up here – well, Twenty-Four Hour Football is a performance within GENERATORprojects– designed to encourage viewers to participate as artists, in a performance by getting involved in an internationally familiar medium – a game of football.
The football match will act as a way of considering participation in an interactive artwork, in the context of a gallery space. Players will direct the performance for the time they are playing; and familiar incidents such as goals, altercations, injuries and conversations about previous experiences of art/football, will happen within the performance.
There will also be a series of films visible from the changing rooms for players/artists, which will act both as pre-match team talk and as instructional performance manifestos.
