PIN....Collective was invited to do a performance and installation at the Build/Decay show at TANK in NYC on February 17 , 2007. The project involved stamping our logo on sticks of gum, wearing white tee-shirts with 4 holes cut out and black shirts underneath so that we could be identified and handing out the sticks of gum to the audience instructing them to chew the gum and when finished place the gum on a wood panel hung on the wall of the sound booth platform. We decided to leave the placement and ultimate design of the panel with the chewed gum up to the participants - thereby giving up the control of the piece and handing it over to the people at the event. The panel was discarded the day after the event. We videotaped and took pictures to document the process of the performance and installation. We "built" an idea - created a performance - installed a panel for the participants to create an art piece and then the chewed gum and ultimate demise of the panel itself became the "decay".
