HOMEWORK: Lia Rodrigues

HOMEWORK

Inspired by the Fluxus movement, in which artists wrote instructions to be activated by the public inside museums, BoCA now invites artists to write instructions for activation at home. Unpublished scores are shared that challenge the audience to a dialogue between the outside and the inside, the body and the imagination. Every Monday until at least 30 June 2020.
