Sitting Still No. 1, San Francisco,
California 1970

Performance by
Bonnie Sherk
appearing formally dressed
and seated in a stuffed chair
seated in a flooded dump,
facing moving traffic which
became the “audience”
for the performance.

Her desire is to create an art
that is based on confronting
life. Sherk confronted the
flow of life around her by
sitting in a chair for
extended periods of time
in environments often
bizarre in nature.
