The question in mind when the piece was initially conceived was: what will happen when you put
several artists of different disciplines in a room together, and let each of them add to and destroy an
ever-changing organism of art?
People in the mediums of film, dance, music, puppetry, fine art, and writing are welcome;
the five-day piece serves as an experiment in art as well as a spiritual endurance performance for
those who choose to stick it out for the full length of time.
The world is so full of advertisement eye candy, tedious forms, and other everyday distractions, that
the artist eventually forgets what it is to be an artist. This piece is an attempt to break these
draining habits, and allow the artist to refocus energies, not necessarily to create a
masterpiece in five days, but to get familiar once again with being an art bug.

salient lockup is a five day performance in which two collaborators are
"locked in a room" under the constraints of only two rules: they cannot
pre-compose their material, and they cannot leave for five days. The idea
of the piece is that members of the art community will come in during the
five days for specified times and contribute to the ongoing performance /
installation with their own ideas and talents.
