Joe Nanashe – 1001 Airplanes
1001 Airplanes
6+ hour performance
2003
This performance entailed throwing a 1001 paper airplanes down the three story staircase at the Mason Gross School of the Arts. A gesture simultaneously playful and violent, this performance interrupts the casual spectator’s habitual encounter of the space, and the piles of planes draw attention to the overlooked areas of architecture.
