Gillian Wearing takeover: How would you dance in public?
In Gillian Wearing's 1994 artwork Dancing in Peckham , she took to a south London shopping centre and danced as if no one was watching, exploring her longstanding interest in confessional video works . Previously that year, Wearing had posted an advertisement in Time Out magazine encouraging the public to bare all to her on film (the result was her 35-minute film Confess All On Video. Don't Worry You Will Be in Disguise. Intrigued? Call Gillian ); she later performed her own creative confession in dance form in Peckham. To mark the opening of her Whitechapel Gallery retrospective , Wearing will be taking over guardian.co.uk/art. Here, she kicks off a week-long digital collaboration by sharing the playlist she listened to in preparation for her Peckham dance-athon (she then remembered it for the 25-minute duration). Watch video clips from her inhibition-suppressing soundtrack below, or go to the Spotify playlist here . After you've listened and watched, we'd like you to get confessional with us. Where would you dance in public, and what would your soundtrack be?
