Lines

2007 — performance

The performer requires a large chalkboard, reclaimed from school use. The performer requires 12 red ink bingo dabbers. The performer sets the chalkboard vertically, on or against a wall. The performer opens and inks a bingo dabber by striking it against the ground or a ground covering. The performer repeatedly writes "I am very sorry for all of the attempted genocide and assimilation." on the chalkboard, using a bingo dabber. When the performer can squeeze no more ink from the dabber, he discards it and wrings his hands for one minute. He then inks another bingo dabber, and continues as above until he can no longer squeeze ink from the dabbers.
