Cancel your face.

By David Sherry 2017
Performance at Guest Projects London. 2017. Using home-made cancelled stamps, I cancelled my face and presented myself in the gallery. I asked members of the audience if they would like to cancel their faces, surprisingly many did. We discussed the possible meanings of the different cancelled stamps and where they would like to be stamped. One man wanted 'Cancelled Cancelled Cancelled' on the back of his neck, two women wanted cancelled ladders on their necks . Another guy had a red cancelled stamp on his forehead.
