For one horrible moment today, I thought I had just driven 90 minutes to watch paint dry.
We travelled from Brisbane to Burleigh Heads to the first of three Bleach Festival events.
It was called The Cleaners. In this Shock Therapy Productions production, performers Sam Foster and Hayden Jones are situated in a shipping container 7 metres above a beach-side park at Burleigh Heads. They are painting a white room white. Okay. Fine. As an audience member, I'm watching paint dry. And then shit hit the fan, or more specifically brown paint balls fired from a sling shot hit the white walls and painters. This is crazy. This is fun. This is audience engagement and site specificity at its best. If this is what watching paint dry looks like, I'm good with that.
