Performance Art Part 1

I performed Allan Kaprow's shaking hands activity with my roommate. It was interesting because it was a little awkward. Usually with a handshake it lasts at most a few seconds if not less, but with this project we continuously shook and while I don't know exactly how long it took for the activity to be accomplished, it was definitely longer than a normal handshake. I rather enjoyed this activity because I tend to really enjoy awkward situations. Most awkward situations really aren't that bad, it's just that our entire lives we've been taught that these situations are out of the ordinary, so thats how we perceive them.
