Material creation, acceptance by the institutionalized circuit, art criticism, the presence of an audience and possible success or failure may all be parts that are acted out and controlled by the artist himself beforehand, meaning they are visible parts of the resulting work that is presented.
The Museum of Art: Audio Tour is a continuation of the series, taken to another level: that of a live experience, exploring the possibilities of art-as-event and thereby presenting the audience’s involvement with the artwork as the central focus . The exhibition is set up as something resembling a dance-event, or actually an exhibition in the guise of its own opening party, including a dj-set and visuals. As for Art and Exhibition Space, they are both present and absent. More specific: animated, pulsating documentary footage of Bokma’s sculptures is projected all over the walls and ceiling and accompanied by a specially composed audio-set intended to further direct a gesammt-experience. The presence of the image turned into an overbearing surround-system.
As a consequence the options are to either encounter the exhibition as a live event during the opening or as a (non-live) individual guided tour. Or both.
