The Sneeze, 80 artists x 80 seconds, 106 minutes, featured film

In conjunction with the Gazon Rouge Gallery Athens, the artists and curators  Peter Lloyd Lewis (UK) and Natasha Makowski (USA) have brought together a global grouping of eighty invited artists to provide videos of 80 second length each. These have been edited together to form a single work resembling a feature film format length of 106 minutes. This global grouping of artists represents each continent. The exhibition will open in June 2004. The event will coincide with the Olympic Games and  relative Cultural Olympiad.

The project refers to the ethos of the Olympic Games where individuals come together to compete and yet form an event that celebrates diversity of cultures but a harmony of  intention. The end forms a 'whole', an event.

The event is supported by UCE Birmingham (B.I.A.D.) and also the British Council.
