Daniel Buren

Green and white paper on door
Galerie Apollinaire, Milan, 1968

French artist Daniel Buren first refusing to take part in Project 68 exhibition at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, led to his first solo exhibition where by he covered the front door of the gallery in Milan with striped papers, making it impossible to enter. He abandoned the idea of painting and the art system, and responded to how work is transformed by its context/ surrounding space.

Obviously in the middle of writing my essay! But it just made me wonder about part two of our project of taking our layered pieces into an environment and why/ how are we going to do it? What do we think will happen? Would it change at all in a space of 30 minutes? Where could we try out and experiment this idea in different places?
