Francis Alÿs: "The Moment Where Sculpture Happens"

103 events, Feb 22 Through June 4   More dates

Davis Museum and Cultural Center 

Belgian-born, Mexico-based Alÿs has stalked an ostrich across Patagonia, wandered Mexico City with a Baretta in his hand, walked the 1948 partition line of Jerusalem at the end of the Arab-Israeli war, chased a tornado, and spent nine hours pushing a large block of ice through the hot streets of Mexico City until all that was left of it was a puddle. In advance of his Museum of Modern Art retrospective opening in May, the Davis Museum offers a small sampler of Alÿs's conceptual shenanigans and his mulling of futility.
