Instructions for an Exhibition
part of My Site | In Space 2 by Switch, October 2007
Performance
The artist instructs a group of participants to create a sequence of three tableaus. Each depicts a moment from an apocalyptic narrative, beginning with a group of scientists creating a terrifying weapon and culminating in the end of the world. The artist photographs each tableau and later assembles the images into an online exhibition that the participants are invited to view.
Commentary
Instructions for an Exhibition sets out to examine the relationships between artist, audience and subject. It playfully turns the audience in to both the materials and subject of an ‘exhibition’, and ask questions about ownership, complicity and exploitation.
