Painting Performances at Harvard

At left, a still from Will Firestone’s 50 minute recording of the creation of Halloween Painting. The 4 x 7 foot canvas leans against the courtyard wall of the Owl Club. The clip was recorded on a Flip recording device and is dated Oct 30, 2009, 8:24 AM. Was it downloaded that morning off the device after the recording was made the night before? There was a party happening inside, and I think costumes were welcome.

Two more performances: the creation of Portrait of Anyone (2009) and Cellphone Painting #1 (2009). The latter was a collaboration with then Emerson College senior Jonathan Vingiano, who initiated the project and produced the following video.
