FeedBack Loop

By: Rhodes University Fine Art Department

The review is essential to the artist, but it is always a lie that replaces the truth. FeedBack Loop will investigate this truth, with a performance of reviewing that attempts to redraw and personalise the relationship among artists, reviewers and audiences.

A group of performers and researchers will produce and distribute a newspaper investigating the Infecting The City Festival performances, their interactions with public space, and both incidental and intentional public encounters with the performances. The collective has elected to use the format of a newspaper as a metaphoric lens to alter perspectives, question assumptions and shift boundaries. This take on a publicly familiar structure will include variants of classics like News, Sports, Lifestyle, Weather, Advice Column, Horoscopes, Crossword, Recipes and Finance, presenting a variegated documentation and reflection of events as they occur.
