WITH THE PERFORMANCE

PRIMAVERA

Primavera marked the launch of House, a public art project which in 2015 will be devoted to Kar-a-Sutra, a cycle of four works by Anthea Hamilton. Primavera was the first part of the cycle with a performance at the Bilia car dealership on Økernveien 115, Oslo.

The performance simulated documentary images of Mario Bellini's Kar-a-Sutra, a proposal for the architectural section of the 1972 exhibition, Italy: The New Domestic Landscape, which took place at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The images depict a troupe of mimes occupying this proposed ideal living space. Hamilton's performance took the format of a focus group, in which an interviewer asked them, ‘What are their requirements for a mobile communal home?’
