PERFORMANCE — MIŚ (TEDDY BEAR)

Original post · 2010-02-16Post author: Oskar ChmiołaOriginal URL

Draft translation. The original material is available above.

A teddy bear sits at the faculty and listens. The bear is a cuddly toy, pretty and nice. It evokes pleasant feelings, memories, thoughts, associations. So it is there to bring joy. Does it bring joy? Is it visible? It simply sits alone and listens. What will come of this? Who will talk to it? Let us see: 17.02.2010 at 14:00, 15 Spokojna Street, the windowsill by the porter’s lodge.


What happened? I asked the bear. It told me that a certain girl had stroked it, and that later, when a friend asked her about the bear with the words “what is that?”, she associated it with her “beloved” dog. Later a man wanted to take the bear, but could not because there were other people there. The bear also said that people smiled at the sight of it, or walked past indifferently, but that it evoked positive feelings. It claimed that it attracted people, so that, for example, they stopped beside it to carry out activities, and, for example, one of the teachers entered grades into two female students’ student record books beside it. What was meant to happen happened.
