Get Jumping - Part of Spiers Infecting the City
2010-01-29
JUMP ! A standard, white, queen-sized bed drifts about in the CBD all week long. Bishop Tutu has jumped on it. Fishermen have jumped on it in Kalk Bay Harbour. So have cleaners from the Mount Nelson Hotel.
Kelly invites you to take off your shoes, lay down your burdens for a few minutes, and exercise your basic right to bounce on the bed. Jump in the middle of the city. Jump for the joy of jumping.
Kelly Vaagsland Wainwright: a conceptual artist straddling the globe between both Oakland, California & Cape Town, Kelly has been working on a project called PLAY JUMP EAT in Cape Town for the past year. The project will culminate in an auction of several playful photographs capturing "quintessential Capetonians" jumping on a bed.
