THE RUG FOR FIVE PEOPLE: 1975
Still continuing the idea of the coat as a collective garment
of transformation,
I realized a Rug For Five People as part of an artists' circus
(with some twenty participants) which took place at the Musée
d'Ixelles
after the opening of the exhibition "I/We."
Organized in collaboration with Harold Szeemann
for the Belgian newspaper "POUR",
Including:
An exposition with approximately 50 international artists:
Carl André, Joseph Beuys, Daniel Buren, James Lee Byars,
Robert Filliou, Anette Messager,
Nicola L., Herman Nitsch, Yoko Ono, and others.
Following the opening, 20 artists took part in a circus-style
performance where
each artist did his/her number.
A catalog of 300 pages, where before and after the event each
artist had
the opportunity to express themselves.
