Dear Friends,
We are very pleased to present the first installment of Do It (home
version), an online project curated by
Hans Ulrich Obrist at our site >>> http://www.e-flux.com Do It is the
third participatory online project
presented by e-flux. We hope you enjoy it.
Do It is an exhibition of artist's instructions to be executed by you.
Should you decide to take part in it,
segments of the show can materialize in your home, office or any other
place you may find appropriate. Once
you have realized an instruction by an artist of your choice, please
send us a picture and your name, we will
include it on the site. This practical utopian exhibition, then,
becomes a collaboration between the artists and
you. Do It at e-flux is also an online compendium of artists writings;
a 'webzine' containing fascinating
essays on the peculiar subject of artworks in the form of instructions
and experimental exhibitions, as well as
an informal community for people interested in such subjects. Starting
with this first installment of works by
over 50 artists, many new instructions, essays and interviews, as well
as your participation and feedback will
be added to the site, so please visit us often!

Bertrand Lavier and Hans Ulrich Obrist,
concerning works of art that contain written instructions. The first do
