KEEP OUT, staying-in performance/installation,
Los Angeles, 2004

KEEP
OUT was an action for the opening
of It’s
time to stay home and get some audience,
final projects exhibition of artists
in residence of the MAK centre for
Art and Architecture Los Angeles
at the Mackey Apartment house, Los
Angeles, 2004. A sign reading ‘Marlene’s
room KEEP OUT!’ was attached to the
closed door of my room. I was inside
watching TV. Anybody who ignorantly
entered the rooom was ignored. I
stared at the TV, changed the TV
cannel, did a bit of zapping, or
simply turned up the volume, as soon
as someone tried to talk to me. If
that did not have the effect to make
intruders leave, I helped out with
comments like ‘Leave me alone. I
am watching TV’, ‘Can’t you read?’,
‘Just shut up and go!’, or I even got up and
slammed the door. It was appalling.
