Description

Display, in the form of a performance on the grand stage of the city theater, of a large white and red striped canvas, whose last two white stripes at each edge are painted over with white paint on the front side – suspended in front of the stage curtain. The 'performance'
ended, at the moment when the audience began to show signs of impatience, by distributing a flier telling them what they had just seen and thanking them for their attendance.

The work is related to the exhibition "Performance 3" - which could have been sub-titled Act I - at the Museum of Decorative Arts, Paris, May 30, 1967.
