Description
Green and white striped papers are pasted on the floor of a room in a museum and on the outside of the museum.
At the same time, a flier, cosigned with Niele Toroni, is distributed by being thrown from a balcony of the theatre de l'Opera, after a performance of a work by Luigi Nono.
Result: closing down of the room by the organizers.
Flier:
"Buren presents some equal vertical stripes which are nothing but equal vertical stripes;
Toroni presents strokes of a paint brush, repeted at regular intervals, which are nothing but strokes of a paint brush, repeated at regular intervals.
Buren and Toroni advise you to no longer accept the artist and his work:
because the artist dreams in your place
sees in your place
because art masks reality, yours and the world's
because art is FALSE.
