Subject: do it (home version)
May 2, 2002
Dear Friends,
We are very pleased to present the first installment of Do It (home
version), an online project curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist at our site >>>
http://www.e-flux.com Do It is the third participatory online project
presented by e-flux. We hope you enjoy it.
Do It is an exhibition of artist's instructions to be executed by you.
Should you decide to take part in it, segments of the show can materialize
in your home, office or any other place you may find appropriate. Once you
have realized an instruction by an artist of your choice, please send us a
picture and your name, we will include it on the site. This practical
utopian exhibition, then, becomes a collaboration between the artists and
you. Do It at e-flux is also an online compendium of artists’ writings; a
'webzine' containing fascinating essays on the peculiar subject of
artworks in the form of instructions and experimental exhibitions, as well
as an informal community for people interested in such subjects. Starting
with this first installment of works by over 50 artists, many new
instructions, essays and interviews, as well as your participation and
feedback will be added to the site, so please visit us often!

exponentially. The initial list of participants includes:

do it began in 1993, with a discussion amongst Christian Boltanski,
Bertrand Lavier and Hans Ulrich Obrist, concerning works of art that
contain written instructions. The first do it took place in 1994, at the
Ritter Kunsthalle in Klagenfurt, Austria. The exhibition has since been
realized in more than 40 venues worldwide, including 25 institutions in
the United States and Canada from 1997 through 2002 in a tour organized by
Independent Curators International (ICI), New York. The initial do it
project was financed by AFAA, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Paris,
France.
