In Public: A living proposal
Who cares about this art now? osloBIENNALEN has invited Michelangelo Miccolis to infiltrate other works in the Biennial, to follow up and challenge how they are presented and how they are received by audiences. He will collaborate closely with the artists participating in the Biennial, starting with his own experiences as a performance artist during the last decade.
For who actually cares about art? What kind of feedback can artists expect from their audiences? Miccolis will begin by presenting an extended monologue, WHO CARES: Notes on how to address an audience. A performance journal, 1992 – 2017, as both performance and as printed text. Then he will draw on his long experience of encounters with the art public, both as part of the Biennial’s scheduled programme and at unannounced moments around the city.
In the spring, Miccolis was one of the performers in Carole Douillard’s The Viewers. In October, he took part in Julien Bismuth’s performance, while at the same time acting as a link between the public, artists and the Biennial team.
