Melissa Brown
Brooklyn, USA
New York-based artist, Melissa Brown’s performances experiment with mass media systems such as currency, the lottery, Business Reply Mail, stamps, crime posters and tourist postcards. How to Win the Lottery is an all-night lecture performance that will demonstrate a variety of scientific and intuitive techniques geared to winning the lottery. For a growing number of economically distressed citizens, the lottery is the last, best hope for financial security. This performance features the artist's distinctive oratory, demonstrations and workshops geared towards generating – what else? -- the elusive winning combo for Lotto 6/49! Special guest cameos will also weigh in on predictions.
