Schon wieder Gem\u00fcse auf Kunstwerke! Wait, das war 1969…<\/p>\n
Made in 2006, it documents a fictitious performance set in 1969 which clearly resembles a Fluxus event.<\/p>\n
The artist, played by Rodney Graham, is shown sitting in a chair in an alternative art space.<\/p>\n
The audience watches him trying to hit a gong with potatoes.<\/p>\n
Taking as his fashion icon the artist Dan Graham, Rodney Graham\u2019s costume represents what he might have worn had he been a New York artist at the time: plaid shirt, jeans, and Red Wing boots.<\/p>\n
The potatoes that hit the gong were subsequently distilled to create a limited-edition vodka.<\/p>\n
As with many films by Graham, this relatively simple action contrasts starkly with the efforts that went into the production, for which the artist did much research and hired a professional film crew.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
