Comment: 'Smith invited people to her studio, which she had divided into three areas: a section with hanging day-glow plastic sheets holding hot roasts of meat; an area with buckets of red, yellow, and blue paint, a pile of foam rubber pieces and a target. The third area was a sealed sanctuary-like room with tables covered with white foam and white cups of red wine.Initially guests threw foam at the target, ate hunks of meat and broke into the room to get the wine. But soon it got out of control and they completely trashed the space.A key factor in the behavior of the participants was the relentless audio mix in combination with total sensory overload. With the absence of guidance from Smith to direct behavior (she was in an adjacent office and never seen) the result was chaotic.'
