We are looking for participants for the internet performance:

THE INVISIBLE MAN

Idea:
This project will be presented in the exhibition cycle “La rigueur n'est pas une valeur sure”, organized by the artist and artistic director Antoine Reynaud in Saint Étienne, on the 3rd June 2010.
From 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.(French hour), in an art gallery in Saint Étienne, there will be a manicure on a night gown (elegant dress) sitting, cutting the public’s nails, and a civil constructor painting a wall in white. There will be a third element present in the space: a printer.
The manicure, who is cutting the nails, will sweep the cut nails to the center of the gallery, while the other person will keep painting the wall.

At a certain moment the printer will start printing – here we ask for YOUR participation.

If you wish to participate, all you need to do is take a white sheet of paper, size A4 (29,7cmx21cm), and put any kind of organic material from the human body – nails, hair, etc.- on it. Write also your name, the time and place where you did your action. Then scan the sheet of paper and send it by email to the address we will send you. You have to send this email at a certain hour, during the time the performance is happening.
These sheets of paper will arrive by the printer at the place of the performance and will progressively be installed on the floor, around the cut nails, thus creating compositions and relationships between what is happening in the gallery and the actions of each participant.
