Salon 16  
Giovanna Maria Cassetta; ‘Movie Premier’ October 26 2001, 8.30pm
Further investigating her interest in the persona of the movie star and the 
cult of personality associated with the contemporary celebrity, Gina Cassetta 
will use the house as an environment in which to stage a fictitious movie 
premier. The audience will be invited to interact with objects and film clips 
scattered around the house, which indicate her past achievements. The 
performance will involve showing a new 8mm film piece in the upstairs studio 
room, followed by a performance and thank you speech. The audience will then 
be free to continue their interaction with the imagined stars’ house and the 
movie star persona.


Salon 17
Oreet Ashery; ‘7 Acts of Love’ November 23 2001, 8.30pm
This piece which will be staged in the bedroom and studio room at home, 
involves the dual significance of the intimate domestic site and the 
embodiment of exile considered in relation to Oreet’s reflection back to her 
‘home’ in Israel. Including a video shot in Israel and a live interaction 
with the performer the piece will involve the consideration of the love/hate 
relationship with ‘home’ and the often dysfunctional dynamics and 
relationships in the domestic sphere. The audience will also make a live 
interaction with Oreet’s alter ego, Marcus Fisher, a Hassidic cross-gender 
Jew, with whom they can have their photo taken.

Salon 18
Chris Kelly & Sarah Faulkner; ‘Mrs Sarah and Mr Chris’ December 14 2001, 
8.30pm
An abusurdist and rich performance proposal which takes the idea of the 
Christmas Show to explore the motivations and extremes of the domestic 
rituals of Christmas. Using Christmas decorations, an anthropological slide 
show, an endurance tap dance routine and live performance interactions with 
the audience Mrs Sarah and Mr Chris will both entertain and provoke the 
audience. As well as referencing the children’s Christmas show or pantomime, 
the piece will question the cosy images of domestic Christmas bliss 
perpetuated by the media and the extreme commercialisation of Christmas.

Salon 19
Sheila Houlston; ‘One to One’ January 18, 2002, 8.30pm
‘One to One’ involves the live relay of sound from Sheila’s house in 
Wolverhampton to the domestic spaces of home in London. The newly devised 
piece will involve a specially staged event, such as cooking supper in 
Sheila’s kitchen which will then be received in the kitchen at home in 
London. The audience will become implicated in two separate intimate, 
domestic spaces, which will both become displaced by the other. The noise 
from Wolverhampton will pervade the house in London and the audience will be 
free to wander the rooms exploring the fragments of sound relayed from the 
other house. The ‘performance’ will last approximately 1hour and involve the 
live digital collection of sounds and their transmission down a specially 
installed ISDN telephone line in both houses.


Salon 20
Ernst Fischer; ‘The Art of (Self) Service – A Master Class in Etiquette and 
Presentation for Valentine’s Day 2002’ February, 14 2002, 8.30pm
Following Ernst’s training as a butler at The Ivor Spencer International 
School for Butler Administrators/Personal Assistants in Dulwich in 
October/November 2001, he will prepare and serve a performance installation 
providing recipes and table decorating ideas which utilise the bodily 
products of the host/performer. A romantic and intimate dinner arrangement 
for two will form the centre piece of a master class in etiquette and social 
mores, which will include expert tips on pre/serving and un/bottling various 
fluids and substance, with an opportunity for product tasting and 
identification. The audience will invariably become spectator and 
participant, as they will be individually invited to partake in the prepared 
meal.

Performance Events

‘cleanliness is next to godliness…but dirtiness is next to heaven’

Performance by Helena Goldwater at Dulwich Pools, London October/November 
2001. Co-produced by home.

cleanliness is next to godliness…but dirtiness is next to heaven is a 
glorious dive into the paradise of pleasures found in everyday life. Helena 
Goldwater takes the audience on a unique and provocative journey.
In the form of a Live Art/Installation Promenade tour, made site-specifically 
for Dulwich Pools in London, this project seeks to celebrate and critique an 
era fast disappearing, offering glimpses of what has gone before, and giving 
voyeuristic insight into the secrets of getting wet in private, in public. 
Dates are 27th/28th October, 3rd/4th and 10th/11th November 2001. Each 
audience comprises a maximum of 25 people per show. Supported by London Arts.

____________
home is a new arts organisation based inside a family house in Camberwell, 
London. Renovated over two years, the house had not been touched since the 
1930's and is built on a curious pentagram design. Instead of clearing the 
rooms so they operate as a gallery, the living environment of the house is 
used, providing fifteen unique spaces to generate a variety of exhibitions, 
events, publications, and related offsite projects. home is a vehicle for 
research into the relationship between contemporary art and the domestic, and 
works innovatively with artists, business and other organisations for the 
full integration of art into all 'living' spaces.
