Inspired by a performance I saw atthe ICA in London in 2005. Below is a description of the event taken from the promotional material for the performance.

The COSMIC WRESTLING MATCH between Adam Nankervis (as “The Ghost of Joseph Beuys”) versus David Medalla (as “The Spirit of Marcel Duchamp aka Rros Selavy”). The referee for this metaphorical wrestling match (a unique live event which will last several rounds) will be Guy Brett. The Gong Master will be Marko Stepanov. English artist James Moores will be the Bets Vetter aka The Bookie. The viola player will be Miles Christie. The seconds will be Dan Bourke, Gordon Johnstone and Tiago Slewinski. The ICA in London was the venue of a live event by Joseph Beuys, while the founders of the ICA (Sir Herbert Read and Roland Penrose) were personal friends of Marcel Duchamp. Nankervis and Medalla’s Wrestling Match will be their Double-Homage to those two Masters of Modern Art.
