Performance Art

For my performance art piece, my group, decided to build a snowman in the middle of plant park.  Being that we are in Florida, which never gets any snow, this would draw a lot of attention to us.  We sat on the group and took white plastic cups and stapled them together to get the three snowman balls.  One of the girls I was working with has never had the opportunity to build a snowman.  However, me being from Delaware, which gets snow constituently through January and February, I've build plenty of snowmen.  We got a lot of weird looks from people as they walked by and wondered what we were doing.  One women even came up to us and asked if this was for a class.  Our three influences for this piece were :
Gilbert & George - The Singing Sculpture which is an 8 hour singing sculpture performance. I like how they took the a idea of a sculpture which is an inanimate object and made it live.
Stelarc's "Ear on Arm" sculpture and project. Stelarc had several art pieces were he placed an ear on an arm. This is taking a sculpture and adding an unexpected object to it.
Swiss artist Victorine Mueller who encases herself in her sculptures which are made from balloons or pvc pipes.
