| Description |
Open call for people willing to donate 8-”10 inches of hair followed by a fabulous style, cut by professional hairdresser and artist Nelson Loskamp. The braids will then be tied together and displayed as a Rapunzel installation and donated to make wigs for cancer patients when the show closes on Feb.20. Electric Chaircut Is an interactive, electro-”sonic, haircut performance, volunteers are taped to the chair; their eyes and mouth are also taped to symbolize the fetishism of appearance. Scissors and clipper are amplified so the sounds of the cut reverberate through the room. By blindfolding the volunteer, the performance combines the fear of the unknown with the excitement of adventure and fantasy (a free haircut!) two ideas that drive fables.
