Artist Jeanie Finlay will provide an opportunity for visitors to her stall at Mima to perform a karaoke portrait on a miniature stage in exchange for tokens and kudos. Participants will be able to choose the associated artist, lyrics and tune, to really 'be themselves' for 3 and a half minutes on stage.

Each performance will be filmed and will form a portrait archive, published here.

All participants will automatically be entered onto a projected leaderboard and will be in competition to win a grand prize, given at 5pm as part of the main prize-giving. Photographic stills of the performance with noted details of name, age, occupation, artist and song of choice will be available to purchase by all visitors using tokens.

Songs will performed using the Singstar PSP system which scores the participant on tone, tuning and rhythm. The artist will also score additional points for performance, passion and portraiture.

Remember - Bribery is encouraged at all times.

A higher place on the score board can be bought with tokens, promises of future commissions and exchanges of contact details with curators, artists and critics.

Make your own damn karaoke portrait will attempt to be louder and more limelight stealing than other stalls.

This work will continue Jeanie Finlay's practice of using objects and video to make portraits of members of the public. She will continue this work in 2007 when she makes Please, please, please let me get what I want, a series of video portraits of Norwegian teenagers and their teenage anthems as an artist in residence at Rogaland Arts Center, Stavagner, Norway.

Will your performance be the most heartfelt... Have you got what it takes to beat the rest... Are you prepared to bribe your way to the top?
