This is a happening



-performance for two or more bodies, preferably young artist's bodies
-performance for people that want to experience how hard it can be to be a young artist, and how the gallerists can have strange reactions

two steps performance

step one:
(you need a pen, pencil or whatever color you can find)
-Go to the chosen galleries, in a chosen city preferably in an art-district
-Sketch some art tracks, as big and colored as you want, in the gallery's guest-book
-do it in as many galleries as you can

step two (after around ten days):
(you need a pair of scissors, photo or video camera and six cards/insignias/posters with the following message:
“THIS IS A HAPPENING”
“THIS IS AN EASY AND SMALL ART FORM”
“IT COSTS $ 20.00” (the price is variable...)
“BUY  IT AND IT WILL  BE  YOURS”
“THANK YOU”
-Go to the same galleries that went to in the step one and search for your sketch into the guest-book
-Look for the gallerist and bring the guests-book to where the gallerist can see it
-one performer cut the drawing piece from the book and offer the piece of paper to the gallerist while the other performer shows the five card sequence
-try to hold the gallerist’s reaction and document it
-send the documentation to The Grossi Maglioni Magic Duo email: info@thegrossimaglionimagicduo.com
