Snowballs

Sculpture kit and performance instructions
Toronto/Paris, France, 2006

Description

I was invited to create an installation or kit in a box and mail it to an exhibition in Paris. I packaged a dozen fresh snowballs and the necessary tools and instructions for their reconstitution in France. The piece was made during the suburban Paris riots of 2006. The instructions suggested the Canadian snowballs should be thrown at people, children, animals and property – thus initiating a transcontinental snowball fight.

The work was made in Toronto in the winter of 2006.
