Farmer’s Dream, (detail) 2010
Documentation of live performance
Farmer’s Dream took place in the Salina Art Center’s Warehouse for 10 hours, starting at sunset, on Sunday, May 23, and ending at sunrise, on Monday, May 24. The public came and went freely. Part of Dreaming Kansas, a multimedia piece by artist Ernesto Pujol, this collaborative work included actions by poet Lori Brack and artists Aniko Safran, Carla Duarte, Kate Lindholm, Priti Cox, Colin Roe Ledbetter, Paul Lindholm, and Michael Handley. Throughout the 10 hours of the overnight performance, the artists rose, selected antique farm tools and domestic utensils from the loaded table, and walked to imaginary fields where they metaphorically farmed the industrial concrete floor, plowing, planting, watering, harvesting, and burning repetitively.
