FaceTime
VFF
In times like these, it’s good to have a VFF.
“VFF” explores friendship through one-hour video chats. Only 22 people can take part in these one-on-one experiences (one per day*), hanging out over FaceTime with Brian Feldman (“#txtshow”). What is a friendship worth? How do we make friends? What does being friends actually mean? Brian explores these questions and more by offering you an opportunity to define friendship. As Washington City Paper wrote, “See It If: You want a new conceptual artist friend to hang out with in real life.” Presented as part of the 2021 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, KeyBank Rochester Fringe Festival, Sydney Fringe, and Melbourne Fringe, “VFF” is a modified social distancing version of “BFF,” which premiered in a sold-out 50 show run as part of the 2012 Capital Fringe Festival. This project was supported by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities. Run Time: 60 minutes

About Brian Feldman Projects
Brian Feldman [he/him/his] is an award-winning performance artist and actor. He lives in Washington, Douglass Commonwealth, where he has presented work in all 8 Wards and 30 D.C. neighborhoods. As the news site DCist noted, “In a city that has an advocacy group exploring how to ‘make D.C. weird’ – and is still struggling – Brian Feldman is a shining beacon of eccentricity.” His work has been featured on movie screens, television, radio, in print, and online, earning critical comparisons to the likes of Marina Abramović, David Blaine, Chris Burden, John Cage, Christo, Marcel Duchamp, Tehching Hsieh, and Andy Kaufman. Since August 2003, he has presented 1,000+ performances of 140+ projects at 175+ venues and festivals in cities worldwide via Brian Feldman Projects, one of the world’s premier presenters of experimental time-based art, celebrating 20 years in 2023.
