I arrived Saturday evening around 6pm.

I can only really comment with specific regard to the rappers I watched who’s improvisational work was really interesting.

I loved it’s unrehearsed nature and felt that for me that was what live art was about – otherwise it becomes a concert or performance…

With regards to the curation  – I wish more thought had been given to how the surrounding aesthetics might influence the piece…
