APPLAUSE performance verified for world record

"APPLAUSE," world record performance at the Walker Art Center's Open Field from Dustin Luke Nelson on Vimeo.

My performance of APPLAUSE at the Walker Art Center's Open Field in June has officially been verified by Guinness World Records as the world record for "Longest Applause."

I'm excited to have it verified, but I'm even more excited that it gave me an opportunity to revisit the performance. There are a number of people -- friends, Walker Art Center staff, volunteers -- who made it happen and I'm endlessly appreciative to them for all they gave to the performance. Thanks to everyone who helped make it work.

Above is a time lapse video of the full two-hour performance.

APPLAUSE

On June 26 we will break the world record for longest continual applause by a group. We will clap for two hours at the Walker Art Center's Open Field. You are invited to join in the applause, watch, be applauded, pass by, pass through, applaud us, applaud yourself, applaud anything or nothing.

Join in for as little or as long as you'd like.

5:30pm at the Walker's Open Field.
