Especially for West Emily created Come-Go-Stay, a live performance with a multi-award winning, highly intelligent king poodle. Emily distilled codes and imperatives from Gertrude Stein’s text Sacred Emily, to be used as commands for the poodle. Through Stein’s evocative language—a passionate king poodle owner—a hybrid exchange between artist and living object is encouraged.
During the presentation period West organizes a Salon Sémiotique along with the artist and guests.
