24 & 25 October, Wilton’s Music Hall, London

live completely alone for four days
without food
in complete silence, without much movement
sleep as little as necessary
think as little as possible...

Gold Dust, requires two performers to be isolated in adjacent hotel rooms for 4 days. On the 4th day (Friday 25 October), in the evening, they leave and go directly to Wilton's Music Hall and play together. They may not eat food for the duration of this event, but may have only liquid sustenance. They must have no contact with the outside world. They are required to maintain an online blog, writing of their experiences of this process, to serve as a real-time document of the work.

Performing Gold Dust will be Artists: Matthew Lee Knowles and Neil Luck.

Richard Whitelaw spoke to Matthew Lee Knowles and Neil Luck on Tuesday morning before the artists went into isolation. They discussed their expectations of the coming experience and offered their thoughts on the piece.
