Performance by Scott Tate
Feb 5, 1993
Description:
Scott Tate presented a performance-in-progress reflecting on the military-industrial complex, resource extraction, fascism, and imperialist expansion. The work combined documentary footage from a road trip through British Columbia to Alaska with a Risk board, and live narration that blurred speculation, half-truths, and fiction. At times, Tate’s monologue shifted into song, accompanied by acoustic guitar.
Video documentation is available upon request.
