A dog day afternoon in Melbourne...

What I'm curious about is the performance part of the piece. But it's pretty far from my neck of the woods, so I'll just have to rely on hearsay...


Bennett Miller’s Dachshund U.N. is both a large scale architectural installation and a performance work that examines the role of the United Nations as a risk management organisation.
A scale replica of a former U.N. office in Geneva, Switzerland, will be constructed by Miller in the Melbourne Museum plaza, where it will remain for the duration of the 2010 Next Wave Festival. Each Saturday afternoon, this structure will play host to a meeting of the U.N.’s Commission on Human Rights, wherein all 47 of the national delegates are live dachshunds, or ‘sausage dogs’.

But as it is about a mere 10 km's from 'Exile' Towers, I shall check it out and bring you a first hand report!
