East Coast/West Coast Situations

Good friend Anthony and I have started a series of "Simultaneous Situations". On Saturday, January 24th, we set out to do some minimalist performance art. Ant lives in the Bay Area of California, 5 minutes from the beach. I am in Rhode Island, living 5 minutes from the beach.

At 2 pm EST, I went to the beach, sat in a straight-backed chair and faced out to sea for a few moments, and recorded this event. Ant did the same thing at the same time (11am his time)in California. We are planning a series of these collaborations and if things go well enough and it turns out the be interesting enough, I am going to suggest publishing a book. If anyone out there has heard of any other artists doing this, past or present, please comment.

The wind was blowing at 31 mph and I froze my teeth off...it was 13 degrees!
