not all art survives history.
Experience the choice between what lasts and what gets discarded to the scrapheap of history.
ARTSTAR!!! is a participatory performance installation that invites the audience to play in the economy of art as either spectators, artists, or both.
For the artist, their story, their image, and their choices are on display and alter the space, but for how long depends on the preference of the audience. A masterpiece could be displayed all night, or it could be a bust - quickly forgotten and discarded into the scrapheap of history.
You decide.
ARTSTAR!!! premiered on October 5th, 2019, as part of Nuit Blanche Toronto.
