Performance of Guernica in Sand at Museum MACAN (Saturday)

Lee Mingwei, the highly regarded Taiwan-born artist, is presenting a unique performance art piece at Jakarta’s Museum MACAN this Saturday. Guernica in Sand references Picasso’s Guernica but uses the impermanence of sand as a way of highlighting the damage done when human beings are victimized. For the performance, Lee will have completed the majority of the enormous sand-painting version of Guernica (using 9 tons of sand) and will finish the remainder of it on Saturday while also allowing one person at a time to walk on the sand-painting, effacing it at the same time as its creation.
