"How to rest" is a group portrait disguised as a landscape, on a 1:1 scale. The show is synchronized with the people who make up the institution in which it is held. One of the works gets turned off during breaks and after the working hours of the curator, assistants, security guards or the director. The exhibition is open 24/7 at Zona Sztuki Aktualnej in Szczecin (PL).Text
"How to rest" is a group portrait disguised as a landscape, on a 1:1 scale. The exhibition is synchronized with the people who make up the institution in which it is held. One of the works gets turned off during breaks and after the working hours of the curator, assistants, security guards or the director. The duration of employees involvement is not fully measurable. However, the lack of a time frame can lead to overwork.
Domicz suggests using a porous script that is only critical because of its generosity. Despite the variable timeframes of the artworks on display, the exhibition is open 24/7. The answer to the question posed in the title is likely to be found on a piece of paper hung in the artist's studio. It says "be your own assistant".
List of works:
