This Lecture-presentation by an international visiting artist, is part of the Ph.D. research The Archive of Disappearance, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, developed at the Hortense research centre of the Faculty of Architecture La Cambre-Horta of the ULB (Free University of Brussels). The presentation is an introduction to the Parade What’s Going on? presented at the Untitled Art Fair.

In the Kunsthalle Bern in 1969, Harald Szeemann organized the legendary group show When Attitudes Become Form. This exhibition presented attitudes, works, concepts, processes, situations and information of many different artists, most of whom were part of the minimal or conceptual art movement. In 2013, curator Germano Celant, together with artist Thomas Demand and architect Rem Koolhaas, reconstructed this exhibition as close as possible to the original and inserted it under the form of a ready-made in another location, the Prada Foundation in Venice. This reconstruction of the exhibition, 44 years later, posed many issues about the reappearance of conceptual artworks.

Wouter & Lieven will provide their expertise about performance art and the historical context of Harald Szeemann and the legendary group show When Attitudes Become Form.

Lecture is free and open to the public.
