JANET LAURENCE is a contributing artist to Kaldor Public Art Project 36: do it (australia).
do it (around the world) is a new chapter of curator Hans Ulrich Obrist’s exhibition-in-progress, which for 27 years has tapped creative luminaries to share simple instructions for their audiences to make an artwork themselves.
Hans Ulrich Obrist initiated do it in Paris in 1993 with artists Christian Boltanski and Bertrand Lavier, gathering recipes for artworks from twelve artists. Since then, it has grown into a global collective art project including some of the world’s most famous figures.
In this time of global lockdown, do it (around the world) has artists making brand new instructions for people to do at home. "I’m encouraging people to have a conversation with a plant and begin to imagine the answers," says Laurence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
do it (australia) is presented in partnership with Serpentine Galleries, Independent Curators International (ICI) & Google Arts & Culture, and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
