In collaboration with Independent Curators International (ICI), Socrates Sculpture Park presents do it (outside), an exhibition conceived of and curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist. With historical antecedents in Dada and Fluxus, do it (outside) is a selection of artists' instructions interpreted by other artists, performers, community groups, and the public. In the last 20 years, versions of do it have been presented in over 50 venues worldwide, giving new meaning to the concept of the 'Exhibition in Progress.' do it (outside) at Socrates Sculpture Park will be the first presentation of the exhibition in New York City and the first to be presented completely outdoors in a public art venue.

 

The instructions and resulting works will be presented in and around a site-specific design by Christoff: Finio Architecture, the NY-based architecture and design studio of Taryn Christoff and Martin Finio. Their design includes 587 linear feet of sidewalk bridge that stretches across the grounds to create a pergola, corridor and courtyard within the park.

 

The opening of the exhibition on May 12 from 2-6PM coincides with the launch of the publication, do it: the compendium (co-published by Independent Curators International and D.A.P.) from which the instructions presented have been selected. At Socrates, over sixty published artist instructions will be brought into existence by artists, performers, community groups, and the public resulting in installations that range from the explicitly sculptural, to the performative, to the poetic or absurd. At the opening, more than a dozen performing artists selected by the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture will interpret more than 20 instructions throughout the day.

 

This 20th-anniversary show premieres a significant number of new instructions along with those from the first do it experiments.
