I’m Sorry. I didn’t get that.
M+ presents Lee Mingwei: Guernica in Sand, a large-scale installation and performance to be staged in The Studio. Taking Pablo Picasso’s iconic 1937 masterpiece Guernica, painted in response to the violence of the Spanish Civil War, as its departure point, Lee Mingwei recreates this painting in sand. Towards the end of the display, a live performance invites visitors to walk on the sand painting. Four performers will then gently sweep the sand in spontaneous movements that simultaneously destroy and recreate the image anew.
