My thesis exhibition Now it’s a Party used the gallery as an open studio where visitors were invited to share meals, practice simple magic tricks and experiment with creating and recreating documents of performance. Unlike traditional magic - where the magician does not reveal their tricks, everything in the gallery was real and revealed. Visitors were offered a menu of solo and collaborative scores to be performed with domestic objects including tables, chairs, tablecloths, dishes and brooms, revealing the often invisible labor of art-making and care work. The objects and actions varied from day to day, documented in an accumulative archive of photographs and ephemera.
