Raisins in the Audience Dough: Third Movement

Presented in conjunction with the Gallery’s special exhibition Nam June Paik: The Future is Now, the third and final movement of Raisins in the Audience Dough sees artists Lynn Lu and Melinda Lauw performing a series of scores to a video camera. These scores were written by participants who previously took part in the second movement of this work.

Filmed separately in London and Singapore, Lu and Lauw subject a variety of everyday objects to “creative misuse” in the deadpan delivery style of Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman. The resulting footage—alongside documentation of participants responding to their prompts in the second movement—is combined to draw out gestural synchronicities and serendipitous occurrences that connect the two artists and the participants, as well as Paik and Moorman's exploits across the vast expanse of time and space.
