TEOR/éTica presents a new edition of DO IT with participation of
Central
American artists and collaborators.
This project began in 1993 of a conversation between Hans Ulrich Obrist,
curator of the Modern Art Museum of Paris and artists Christian
Boltanski
and Bertrand Lavier. Since then it has been executed in dozens of
museums
and exhibition spaces around the world.
It consists of a series of "do-it-yourself" instructions put forward by
artists to be carried out by the institution´s staff.
This project aims to question the notion of authorship; instructions
give
birth to diverse interpretations greatly influenced by different
contexts;
it is therefore an exhibition in progress.
On this ocassion, due to the fact that TEOR/éTica´s staff is
relatively
small, a number of collaborators have been invited; students, board
members, journalists, waiters and friends, all of them related with
TEOR/éTica in one way or another.
New instructions have been created by central american artists; among
them
Federico Herrero (El amigo secreto, Secret friend), Fabio Herrera
(El
deseo, Desire) , Marisel Jimenez (Las formas hablan de sí
mismas, Forms
speak about themselves), Priscilla Monge (La Barata), Humberto Vélez
(Los
celadores, The caretakers), Joaquín Rodriguez del Paso (Todos
los Ticos
del mundo, All the Ticos of the world), Cecilia Paredes (A lo
mejor soy
otro, Maybe I´m somemeone else), A153167 (Se alquila, For
rent), Raúl
Quintanilla (Banana republics) and Xenia Mejía (Un velo de
fantasía nubla
la mente de la abeja reina, A veil of fantasy clouds the mind of the
queen
bee).
