NOT EXPERT

7pm (prompt) on Friday 26 January 2007
At Cow Lane Studios, Cow Lane, Salford, M5 4NB

A live art event by Kevin Linnane & Adela Jones

An evening of demonstration, observation and interaction. An exploration of actions and process in a specially created installation. Visitors will take part in an evolving ritual through an invitation to observe and interact with set tasks.

The first 24 people to arrive were directed throughout the evening by a team of fourteen performers; 1, milklady, 2 nurses, 1 police lady, 1 sailor, 2 builders, 1 chef, 1 judge, 1 mechanic, Sherlock and Watson, Peeping Tom and Lady Gadiver... The audience obediently followed instructions, with laughter overcoming awkwardness. Uneasy, unexpected sounds and actions collided in what was described by one audience member as 'an assult on the senses'

Duration: 40 minutes
