During this one minute performance, eleven people (attendees of the opening) suddenly interrupted the existing situation with brief actions that were exaggerations of normal gallery behavior. Some examples of these simultaneously performed actions are: someone closely examining an empty corner of the space, a man was thinking of something really sad until it made him cry, two people talking to eachother while rythmically clacking their heels, someone singing in the toilet, a photographer taking pictures of the photographer and eventually two wine glasses falling on the floor in two different corners of the space at the exact same time.
Céleste Boursier-Mougenot‘s installation ‘from here to ear’ (2009/2010) consists of a group of birds in an environment fitted with amplified guitars. The birds compose live music every day during the course of the exhibition.
Last friday was the presentation of the work ‘Impuls’ by Thomas Bakker.
‘Impuls’ (2010) was made for the CKE Eindhoven (NL), a center for the arts.
A series of LED-screens on the outside of the building project visual noise. The screens are connected through LED lines, showing the flow of energy. The intensity of the noise corresponds with the activity inside the building and changes accordingly during the day.
The video was shot during the opening…
