Description:

Deborah Hay presented an untitled work in the Grand Luxe Hall. In a 1980 administrative questionnaire, Hay described the piece as “a day in the process of the development of a solo performance as an expression of total awareness.”

Video documentation, which was shot and edited by Western Front core member Jane Ellison, shows two discrete performance segments, with a question and answer period in the middle of the program. 

Video documentation is available upon request.
