#ArtistOfTheWeek: OK, I'm back on this with the new term started a few weeks ago!
The first Artist of the Week from our week on Reciprocity.
Tehching Hsieh is a Taiwanese-American performance artist who used to do durational pieces lasting one full year.
In particular for the theme of reciprocity, himself and artist Linda Montano were tied to each other with a two meter long rope for one entire year - unable to touch each other.
Tehching Hsieh, One Year Performance, September, 30 1978
❛❛ #Hsieh (went by Sam Hsieh at the time) sealed himself in his #studio in a #cell in #SolitaryConfinement for a year. His #food, #clothing, and #refuse needs were facilitated by Cheng Wei Kuong. ❜❜

OTD June 10, 1980, Tehching Hsieh made a mistake! during his One year performance (Time Clock Piece)
He failed to go to the time clock at 9:00 AM, because he was sleeping.
Now on show in #Berlin
