Left, Right Performance at the Freud Musem, part of PARANOIA
Until the 11th of March at the Freud museum the group show Paranoia
Arts Monthly, Andrew Hunt, February issue 2007
Oreet Ashery, Doug Fishbone and Emilia Telese all staged performances, and it soon became clear that current global tensions set the primary theme. Ashery’s action Left, Right, 2007, for example, involved two male figures fitted out in traditional Muslim and Jewish dress. While the performers sat and massaged the centre of visitor’s hands, the work dealt with the psychological pressure that an individual might experience while simultaneously trying to make sense of each religion’s perspective.
