Fürstliches Vergnügen - Art Escort

WHITE MARKET

30th March-1st April 2012

in the Prinz-Georg-Garten,

Schloßgartenstraße, Darmstadt, Germany

This year WHITE MARKET intervened in Darmstadt during the annual Treffpunkt,

an urban performative intervention in the city under the title 'Art escort'.

Ms White and Ms Market entertained passer-bys and escorted them for walks in the local park. The activities were declared as Art and needed to be paid for by the passer-by. The costing depended on factors such as duration and type of interaction or pleasures as well as on a categorisation of the client.
