Second meeting of Performance Artists

On Sunday, a small group of us gathered for another show and tell session. This monthly gathering is still getting going and seems to have a new flavor every time. There was more nudity, more interaction, more informality this meeting.

We met in an apartment and performed in the living room and on the sidewalk. The work brought up discussions of public and private space and performing within these spaces and the border between.

The next meeting is in a month and is going to happen on a Chicago beach.
