in a single bound, does have performance artist Brian Feldman.

Saturday, August 28, 2010 from 6-8pm
@ Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre (401 W. Livingston St. Orlando FL 32801)
In the summer of 2008, performance artist Brian Feldman approximated the experience of being a Red Chair for 110 hours over a 14 day time span, in a piece called I Am a Red Chair at IKEA Orlando.
Now - as part of the 6th Annual Red Chair Affair, the event to kick-off Central Florida’s arts and cultural season, Brian reprises this much enjoyed performance for two more hours.
You can see Brian as a Red Chair by purchasing a VIP Ticket for $225, as he will be backstage at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, sitting amongst the nearly 70 other Red Chairs up for Auction.
$225 too steep? You can still bid on “The Brian Feldman Projects / Red Chair Affair Auction Experience” by emailing projects@brianfeldman.com with your bid amount, which will be added to the bidding sheet prior to the start of the Live Event.
Cost: $225 (General Admission to the Red Chair Affair is $15-22, but does not include a glimpse of Brian Feldman as a Red Chair IRL. Frown face.)

“Sketch artist Thomas Thorspecken continues to chronicle the goings-on in Orlando via his Analog Artist Digital World blog, and it’s always a sign of cool to show up in one of his random scenes. But if you’ve never been so lucky, here’s your chance...” (Orlando Weekly)

@ Lowndes Shakespeare Center (Goldman Theater) (812 E. Rollins St. Orlando FL 32803)

You’re gonna want a front row seat for this one.
The completed sketch will be featured on Thor’s acclaimed Analog Artist Digital World blog, as well as TheDailyCity.com and in a book to be published in 2011.
