February 24, 2009: What Happens in Halifax
Mario Garcia Torres’ What Happens in Hailfax stays in Halifax (in 36 slides) 2004- 2006, exhibited at the 2007 Venice Biennale relates closely to my current research. This project recuperates a particular student exercise set in autumn 1969 for David Askevold’s Project Class by the American conceptual artist Robert Barry based on a shared secret idea common to the group.
I like that Mario Garcia Torres recuperates this project almost forty years later in a different context.
