This bizarre performance art sneak attack occurred during a recent luncheon given by i.e., a think tank of sorts dedicated to studying the future of creativity in Richmond. Some members of Richmond’s artistic community, allegedly including White Laces guitarist Alex French, decided to interrupt the luncheon with this unscheduled act of guerrilla performance art. The crowd was nonplussed, even somewhat terrified, at first, but seemed to get into the spirit of the thing eventually, giving the troupe a round of applause at the end. The entire crazy thing just goes to prove that, where the artistic community of Richmond’s creativity is concerned, the future is now.
Thanks to John L. Morgan of One Way Richmond and Dylan Mulshine of Witchmond for making me aware of this little gem, and the story behind it.
