Andreja Kulunčić : Performing the Exhibition: ART-ACT-BOX
Can everyday objects – a mirror, sellotape, pencils and markers – become artistic materials? Can a walk home be considered an artistic happening? What creative tools did artists of the 1960s and 1970s use to express their critical thinking and communicate with their public and the community?
Discover the answers at Performing the Exhibition: ART-ACT-BOX. Guided by a dance artist who uses items from a box, gestures and speech to perform some pieces by the artists in question, the public is involved as living elements of the choreography and become exhibition performers themselves. The number of participant is limited to 20.
