Description:

In Video Bag, Taki Bluesinger ran the entire distance from Vancouver City Hall to the Burnaby Art Gallery. Changing his t-shirt every fifteen kilometres, he was accompanied for various stages of the marathon by Mr. Peanut (Vincent Trasov) and company. The performance coincided with an exhibition at the Burnaby Art Gallery that featured Paul Wong’s first video installation, Earthworks in Harmony, and the debut of the Lux Radio Players in a piece called The Barge to Banality.
