The hot dog guy is present

performance, 2013

A tribute to, and a parody of, Marina Abramović’s "The artist is present”. I invited Lansing based caterer Clinton Tarver to install his hot dog cart in the art gallery and sell hot dogs to the public, as he would on the streets. Presented at the (Scene) Metrospace Gallery in East Lansing, Michigan, on January of 2013. Special thanks to Clinton Tarver (the hot-dog guy), Tim Lane, Clark Goemon, Dylan Constan-Wahl and Bahareh Karamifar.
