8th August 2008News - Global Player is coming!
A brand new arts mobile arts event by Blind Ditch
Stand your ground! at the launch of GLOBAL PLAYER
11am, Friday 1st August 2008, Exeter Phoenix Gallery
As a lead up to the Beijing Summer Olympics a custom built table tennis table is being towed around the streets and public spaces of five British Cities. Strengthened for purpose and fitted with a towbar for ease of pulling, the table is a specially designed art object constructed by sculptor John Packer out of recycled bicycle parts. The Global Player will encourage members of the public to stand their ground - reclaiming public space whilst creating an exciting community performance together. Challengers are encouraged to take winning seriously with game stats and edited video highlights being uploaded online at www.blindditch.org/globalplayer
Global Players for 2008 are: Volkhardt Müller from Blind Ditch with associate artists Augusto Corrieri and Tim Dollimore.
Join us for coffee, croissants and the first games of the tour as we send the table off into the streets of Exeter (followed by Brighton, Cardiff, Plymouth ...the world!)
Global Player will provide the bats.
