Instruction

protocols, certificates, A4 ink jet prints, 2015

Instruction consists of two contracts drafted and signed by the artist, formalizing his decision never to learn to dance or study astronomy.

The work is a long-term commitment, giving shape to the artist’s life.

By approaching learning through refusal, Instruction explores the space of freedom that not knowing can open up. Rather than adding skills, the work draws a voluntary boundary, a territory left undefined, which accompanies the artist on a lasting basis.

Dated and signed, the certificates of non-learning can be presented framed in an exhibition space.
