Francis Alÿs, ‘Night watch’ (2004)
Alÿs released a fox, called Bandit, into the deserted gallery at night. Seen from the high viewpoint of the security cameras, the fox looks a little puzzled among all the paintings of the great and the good. Like the guards, the fox is out of context; an intruder, observed dispassionately.
BBC’s Art Safari, ‘Gregor Schneider‘ (2004)
Another Art Safari episode, this time Ben Lewis visits Gregor Schneider in Haus Ur.
Mircea Cantor, ‘Deeparture’ (as presented at the MoMA) (2005)
‘Deeparture’ involves two unwitting players, a wolf and a deer, in perhaps the most unlikely and artificial environment in which they can find themselves—a white-cube gallery.
Thanks, Anna!
