Duo Days
2013
Supported by The National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland in conjunction with Catalyst Arts Presents DUO DAYS
29th April-5th May
DUO DAYS, is a performance art event, involving artist couples (artists in a relationship, collaborating in performance) investigates the theme of duality through performances. Through these collaborative performances we observe how couples who share intimate relationships and domestic lives communicate through performance art, their working relationship, utilising this closeness and intuitiveness which their relationship affords, providing opportunities to further test the nature of relationships; from domestic life to social ethics, from mind and body to art and audience.
