26 and 27 November, 13.00-17.00

Covet Me, Care For Me is a quiet, brutal, celebratory performance about heartbreak and heritage, objects and history, and anatomy and difference.

This durational performance piece by live artist Sheila Ghelani encourages the viewer to consider the mixed-up mess that resides in us all.

Fifty covetable glass hearts are laid out on the floor, each containing a 'mongrel' object (a nurse's fob watch with additional parts attached). These objects are then claimed one at a time by 50 members of the public over four hours. Other members of the public form an audience.  In order to claim an object, the member of public must sign a 'receipt note', dress in safety gear and smash the glass heart containing the object with a hammer. Originally commissioned in 2007 by SPILL Festival of Performance.

This event is FREE. Drop in anytime.
