AI WEIWEI WITH MILK: FIND SOMETHING EVERYBODY CAN USE INTERVENTION IN THE MIES VAN DER ROHE PAVILION “I approach Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion as a ready-made, the activities it experienced and the way it’s been seen. The building is not static; in fact, my intervention explores the metabolism of a living machine. Liquid is replaced because it is a part of the building that has always been replaced. In fact, the content of the two pools is replaced all the time, unnoticed to visitors. A pump re-circulates water in the large outdoor pool, while the smaller pool is drained every two weeks, the dark glass at the bottom is cleaned and the pool refilled.

'THE THEN SET HERE PLACE AS AND' INTERVENTION IN THE MIES VAN DER ROHE PAVILION “My work offers a reflection on the importance of the position taken: that of sculpture within its context, that of the viewer vis-à-vis the work, that of the artist within the world that surrounds. Within these complex structures the position of each element plays a decisive role, and this goes for language as well as architecture. The words used to mark the architecture, the passage thus offer an opening onto the environment, an opening towards interpretation. Conjunctions articulate relationships that leave everyone free to decide their own terms.” Peter Downsbrough SPECIFICATIONS Author: Peter Downsbrough (Editor and Designer) Pages: 48 Illustrations: Colour, B&w Binding: Hard back Publishing date: June 7th, 2017ISBN: English 978-84-941836-5-2
