SODADE
MARCUS O’SHEA

“Sodade” was a one-time performance created in response to the venue of the pop-up exhibition Come Here Often? The exhibition took place in a space normally used as a night club frequented by students of Edinburgh University. Inspired by the name of the exhibition and an article in GQ magazine I’d happened upon, which listed the ten sexiest seduction songs, I decided to seduce the entire audience of the exhibition with a combination of seductive banter, wine, chocolates and dancing, all set to the song Sodade by Cesaria Evora. In my dialogue with the audience, I laid bare my theory that the goal of the artist was to seduce his audience by any means necessary, especially if they’re rich.
