The artist Ansuman Biswas is going to be spending 40 days and nights in the tower of Manchester Museum, communicating to the public via the internet and screens in the museum. According to the Guardian (read the article here) Biswas is going to be selecting objects from the collection and... doing things with them. If it goes wrong they can always use it as a way to test another human remains display strategy. It reminds me of Vito Acconci's Seedbed performance of 1971, the less said about which the better. Look it up if you're not easily distressed, don't tell me I didn't warn you.
