Bubbles Before Photos

This is what the Eyedrum space looked like before I created my installation. Super gross!

Bubbles, The Universe is My Home Documentation

"Bubbles, The Universe is My Home," was an Allison Rentz performance installation in the Existing Conditions show at Eyedrum (8.15.14). Video by Hormuz Minina, and Andy Imm is inside the bubble. Special thanks goes to Princess Jones for her installation assistance.

About the piece:
I found out a couple of weeks ago that my ex recently died of lung cancer, but he wasn't a smoker, and he was only 39. This has made me hyper aware of indoor air pollution, especially since we lived for many years in a space that was probably unsafe. While I was touring the parts of the new Eyedrum building that haven’t been renovated yet, I was super grossed out and I felt compelled to protect the audience from the possible threats to their health. The wood frame with the circle cutout commanded me to put something in it, and an act of bibliomancy cemented this protective bubble idea for me. The book, which was given to me after touring the space, is called "The Universe Is My Home," includes characters that travel to another galaxy inside a bubble to interact with aliens that look like glowing orbs. Like the characters in the book, the audience will encounter the space while inside a human hamster ball.

Look in the Mirror

Look in the Mirror

an Allison Rentz Performance

January 13, 2012

at Whitespace Gallery

Atlanta, GA

This is a small part of a larger project that I'd like to do. I was surprised by the audience's desire to get down on the ground between my legs to look in the mirror. There was a lot of embarrassed laughter. I felt like I was giving birth again, with all those people so uncomfortably next to my crotch.

Donorcycle Notes

Volunteers will be vip audience members. They get to experience the performance first hand, and through the lens of body uncomfort, and scripted aesthetics.

Jon Ciliberto, who will be interacting with the audience by scanning them and wrapping them in caution tape.

Through volunteers and audience interaction, this piece has a lot of similarities to one that I did at Eyedrum as the dictator.

WORKER ACTIONS

Workers will be following the instructions of the lead worker.
You should be slow, somber, relaxed and muted.
Keep your arms at your sides.
Provide a still backdrop for my actions, that is parallel to the audience.
Ignore the audience.
Focus on looking at me and each other, while paying attention to the compositions that fill your field of vision.

COMMAND WORDS:

LINE = form a line that follows the leader so that you are providing a backdrop for me that is parallel to the audience.
CIRCLE = form a circle around me. This action happens when I need to communicate something to you.
SCATTER = walk 27 steps away, and then quickly return and form a CIRCLE around me.
CAUTION TAPE = hold onto caution tape.

During the first Donorcycle, I had an extremely negative reaction. This performance is going to embrace that negativity.
