Gordon, Mel. “Laurie Anderson: Performance Artist”. The Drama Review. 24.2, Women and Performance Issue (1980): 51-54.

During the summer of 1972, Anderson and a friend organized a performance event in a small Vermont town. Every Sunday evening, residents of Rochester would drive up to their park in automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles to hear music played by a local band. Without ever leaving their car seats, the spectators would sit and honk their horns to show approval at the end of each section. Enthralled by the naiveté and sophistication of the situation, Anderson managed to reverse the audience/entertainer relationship by forming an orchestra of the same vehicles. This time the people in the driver’s seats made the music with their horns and spectators sat in the park’s gazebo. 52
