Artist Seeks Volunteers for Performance at Whitstable Biennale 2008



LONDON.- Fancy a dip in the sea dressed as Reginald Perrin? Remember Leonard Rossiter as the office worker Reggie Perrin in the hit BBC 1970's sitcom The Rise and Fall of Reggie Perrin? Artist Lee Campbell is looking for anybody to help him recreate the opening credits of the comedy where Reggie says goodbye to a monotonous life and runs into the sea taking his clothes off and coming back as a meaningful purposeful eco-warrior free of his life at Sunshine Desserts. Lee is just one of many artists taking part in this year's exciting Whitstable Biennale 2008. He has been creating humorous and playful performances for the last two years from shouting messages on a megaphone on the top of Mount Snowdon . . . to singing his heart out at the end of Brighton Pier in the dark for 7 hours. For Whitstable Biennale 2008, Lee will ask members of the public to become Reggie Perrin.

Volunteers will be asked to chant many of Reggie's boss CJ's catchphrases for example "I didn't get where I am today" and then run into the sea wearing second hand suits or office wear. The participants will strip off to their undies and let their office clothes drift away into the sea, finally emerging from the water as new and refreshed individuals. This is not for the faint hearted! If you are interested then you would need to be available from 4pm on Saturday 28th June. The performance will take place at 5.15pm and last no longer than thirty minutes. Participation is strictly voluntary and should be a huge amount of fun.
