Low Profile are invited to be the round girls at a boxing match with a difference, a bout between Dada and Fluxus in a regulation size boxing ring in a village hall in South Brent (UK).
As the bell rings to signal the end of each round, Low Profile plunge their hands into a bag of one-liners, (a series of texts written onto strips of paper) pulling out a single line and chalking them up onto their individual blackboards.
The artists, kicking off their high heels, clamber into the ring. Holding up their blackboards, for the first time, Hannah and Rachel reveal the randomised texts to the gathered crowd – lines borrowed from love songs, football chants, arguments and confessions. The process of the ‘lucky dip’ text selection creates strangely moving, confusing, seemingly poignant and provocative combinations.
Presented as part of ‘Dada v Fluxus : performance in the ring’, 2006, South Brent.
