Conceived and curated by
Hans-Ulrich Obrist, this exhibition presents, through written instructions the work of artists from across the United States and Europe.This exhibition exercises the interpretive skills of those charged with executing the directions provided. Like a musical performance, each version of the work in do it is a unique realization of the artist's instructions.

The exhibition, tour, and catalogue are made possible, in part, by ICI's International Associates and by a grant from Étant donnés.
