Patrick Coyle
‘Local History’

Wednesday 15 August 2018

In this new performance by Patrick Coyle, the artist leads a walking tour of several sites in the area surrounding Recent Activity. He chose not to visit the project space in advance, but rather to plan his tour over the internet, and will not see the sites until the day of the performance.
