Of All The People In All The World – Opening

in englischer SpracheFor this beautifully simple performance installation, every grain of rice represents someone, somewhere. The artists build small and large mounds of rice representing the political and social realities in the world: one grain for Karl Popper, a heap for millionaires in Europe, and a mountain for people fleeing from war and disaster. By making formally abstract statistics tangible, this powerful work of art is witty, shocking and moving.
The performance runs from August 17 to 30 2019 (ART NON STOP), each day from 12:00 to 18:00.
