Essay about caring for the audience in performance art?
October 11, 2018 7:49 AM   Subscribe

Years ago I came across an essay online by an artist, I think one who does a lot of performance art, arguing that confronting the audience with hostility was pretty tired and worn-out territory, and that caring for the audience (e.g., washing their feet) and expressing love and hospitality was the new frontier. I thought I bookmarked it but can't find it. Anyone remember this?

Best answer: Was it Harry Josephine Giles' Shock and Care? It includes a mention of Adrian Howells' Foot-Washing for the Sole.
