Social Performance - Katarzyna Bobiec and Dominika Borkowska

https://frieze.com/event/social-performance

Here, two students create performative art; Bobiec invited children to participate in drawing while she plein air paints and presents them together. She describes the entire action to be a performance. Borkowska reaches her hand out to strangers in a friendly manner. Most of the time she is ignored or rejected showing that people are not open to other people. 
These two acts of art are related to the Helen Molesworth essay to show that art is still about ideas and experiences. The audience and the action is the art. They have documented the process with photographs but the 2D form does not compare to the action or information given.
