3 day and night continuous performance. Nomadic condition. Triangular structure for sleeping in - transported by the figure in and around the entrance to the Musee d'art Moderne... Communications with the homeless who spent the nights in the covered section of the entrance among the columns.
Little or no contact with the visitors to the exhibition during the day.
Stuart Brisley 2012
For this performance Brisley constructed a small shelter in which he could sleep and that he could carry around like a snail carries its home. He began the performance by walking naked out of the museum into the cold winter air, dressing and beginning to drag the shelter around the museum’s courtyard. At night homeless people appeared necessitating negotiations between the artist interloper and the native nighttime inhabitants. By day the homeless would disappear leaving the artist alone with the passing daytime visitors to the museum.
