PHASE 2: HAAK (HAPPY ANARCHIST ADVENTURE KIDS)

Project:
Getting to Know Your Stranger!

Artists:
Cecily Andersen + a stranger (Sarah Rocker)
Brieana Ruais + a stranger (Mikella Millen)
Meryl OÕConnor + a stranger (Mike Nirenberg)
Leah Farrell + a stranger (Christopher Ryan)

Anonymous art collective, HAAK (Happy Anarchist Adventure Kids), will present a project ÒGetting to Know Your Strangers!Ó Through several stages of the project, each of the four primary artists locates a ÒstrangerÓ (def: someone with whom they are not acquainted, located through advertising, postings, networking or other means.) The pair then engages in a short acquaintance period lasting 11 days in the 2nd stage. A series of outlined activities to this effect are performed and documented. Once the ÒstrangerÓ and the artist complete Stage 2 they cease communication. Using the following three weeks both the artist and the ÒstrangerÓ create pieces that reflect their process and experience with the project. The three weeks conclude with the hanging of the show, which will include the individual documentation and final work of the eight participants. The project is structured to be impersonal at the beginning and progressively becomes intimate, allowing for unique relationships to develop. How well does this reflect the reality of interpersonal acquaintance in New York City? >>more detailed press release

In general, how much do you trust your average stranger?
