A one night installation and experiment in which a performer stood in the corner in proximity to two small invitations:

"To replace Artist or Woman or Dog / please stand on the red line / and wait for tit"

and

"yr want is a gift / quiet and cornered / come in, sit down + wait for tit".

Two sets of laser-engraved dog treats were made available to the audience: a cheddar sage biscuit and a chocolate chip cookie. From a set of stereo bookshelf speakers, three karaoke versions of White Town's 1997 hit "Your Woman" played on repeat for the duration. Doggy bags were made available for taking treats home. Throughout the evening, audience participants joined the performer by standing in the corner or on the line, facing the wall and waiting. An hour and a half in, the lights turned off and remained off until the end of the night.
