exhibition exercise, 326'
in conjunction with Institut für Raumexperimente
维他命空间 Vitamin Creative Space, Guangzhou
During their trip to China, the students and fellows of the Institute for Spatial Experiments visited the city of Guangzhou for a few days, culminating in a group exhibition in the same gallery that represents the Institute's founding professor. In Chinese, the word to sit, 坐 zuò, sounds the same as the word for to do or to make, 做 zuò. I chose to sit down for the duration of the opening. Calling it a performance sets up a series of parameters for a willed physicality, passively received, curious interaction and a fixed perspective of concentrated observation——time withstanding.
