"Aquapong"
2009. An ongoing collaborative performance art project.
The game is identical to beer pong. All beer is replaced by water. It is to be played by a group of roughly 20 individuals daily at around 10:00 for 365 days.
"Aquapong" commentates on the existential emptiness of upper-middle class privilege by reducing a familiar tradition of drunken mindlessness to a state of unadulterated trivial redundancy.
"Aquapong" should be played/performed with an exaggerated, forced enthusiasm as to demonstrate the void of denial exercised by those who subscribe to the dominant value systems and moral codes of contemporary western culture. The goal of "Aquapong" is to communicate themes of absence and compromise with a clarity seldom exercised in the medium of performance art. No intention of this piece should remain questionable upon performance. All actions during "Aquapong" must have clearly defined communicative purposes for the piece to retain artistic integrity.
