Someone Walking Around. Cycle of performances and interventions
From 05.04.2019 to 30.06.2019
Fundació Antoni Tàpies museu
(Carrer Aragó, 255, Barcelona, Catalonia)
Curator: Erich Weiss
Under this cryptic title, Belgian artist and curator Erich Weiss presents a cycle of performances and interventions that will take place during the spring of 2019. They are apparently spontaneous actions that coexist, over some hours or days, alongside the exhibited artworks. In this way, visitors can find an unexpected element, forcing them to reposition themselves within the exhibition.
With a solid professional career in the field of performances, all the artists chosen to be part of the series have accepted the rules of the game: acting as guests at the exhibition dedicated to Antoni Tàpies. As if they were paraphrasing Duchamp’s famous quotation – a guest + a host = a ghost –, the presence of the artists will be similar to a phantom that appears and disappears, offering the public the possibility of being accidental protagonists in a space dedicated to another artist. In this way, visitors can find an unexpected element, forcing them to reposition themselves within the exhibition.
