Upcoming Show at the Hayward Gallery! Interested in being a part of it?
To coincide with Laughing in a Foreign Language, artist and comedian Marc Horowitz presents his extraordinary Centre for Improved Living, an open workshop featuring sculptures, videos, performance, life-coaching and conversation with the artist. Addressing a diverse range of subjects from architectural environments, advertising and commerce to happiness and power, Horowitz’s project thrives on a makeshift, DIY aesthetic. Using props, objects and ideas, Horowitz encourages and facilitates exchanges of laughter, provocation, problem-solving and improved ways of living.

The show opens on March 18th and goes until April 13th. I am planning on doing a talk show in the gallery – have three talk shows a week each lasting an hour with 2-3 guests. Each show would have a topic, taken from thecenterforimprovedliving.blogspot.com daily questions. I would loosely address this topic or question with each of the guests as we do an activity related to the topic. I also plan to have several workshops.
I am looking for the following people to help out, the time commitment is totally up you and we can discuss it.
1) guests to be on the show
2) camera people to run cameras
3) some internet tech savvy folks to make this a live webcast and help with the website
4) a sound technician
5) set builders/ environmental designers
6) creatives who are interested in making props
7) writers to help with some of the guest questions and interstitial segments.
8) A producer/ publicist to help line-up guests
9) some general help
Everyone would get credit and have an opportunity to say they showed at the Hayward! I really see this as a nice community of people coming together and creating something about the real people of London, not just a bunch of celebrity pop-culture bullshit.
If you or someone you know would be interested in this project please e-mail me at ineedtostopsoon at gmail dot com.

sounds like so much fun. i am such a hard worker and i would kill to get to go to london. i have an insane,warped sense of humor so i’d be great for coming up with questions. but because i am only an extra i would take the lowest level job you got. w/e. just please consider me.
thanks
what what kind of guests are your looking for?
i am documenting my first year in san francisco, and my transformation from a desperate (republican) housewife fundamentalist soccer mom to an ecofeminist socialist pagan sex positive bisexual kinky community organizer.
it’s been exhausting and fun. oh and i cope with chronic pain and advocate for people with disABILITIES. so i have that angle covered. ha!
i’m up for being a guest on your show depending on what kind of show you expect it to be.
i found your website totally by accident when i googled spooning. (:
