chance: a gap between intention and outcome
in performativity & chance, there is a slight element of risk: a tension between the viewer and the bodily experience of the artist. re: marina abramovic’s rhythm 10 (1973) in which she rhythmically stabbed a knife between her splayed fingers.
to note:
chance is not chaos. chance is not “unbridled uncertainty.�
chance occurs in the context of certain conditions, created by the artist.
