Art

British artist Stuart Brisley (right) was a pioneer of endurance performance art in the early 1970s, subjecting his body to all manner of extreme, punishing tests. His most celebrated piece, Arbeit Macht Frei, saw him submerge himself - with just his nose protruding above the surface to suck in some air - in a bath full of dark, disgusting looking slime, fighting off nausea and the urge to jump out. This afternoon, in a rather more subdued vein, sees the second of his three appearances at Arthouse in Temple Bar with a project called Voices from Erehwyreve. Brisley himself, plus some invited guests and members of the public will read aloud from any text of their choice so long as it relates to death (today) or sex (tomorrow). All are welcome and admission is free at Arthouse, 1-4 p.m.
