13 Rooms

Kaldor Public Art Projects has brought this exhibition to Sydney after coming from Manchester as '11 Rooms', then '12 Rooms' in Essen, Germany. It 'brings together 13 famous artists and more than 100 performers to present an innovative group exhibition of ‘living sculpture’ within 13 purpose-built rooms. This groundbreaking event will run for 11 days and has been curated by renowned museum directors and curators Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-director of London’s Serpentine Gallery, and Klaus Biesenbach, Director of MoMA PS1 in New York.'

I have two close friends of mine performing in the John Baldessari's 'Thirteen Colorful Inside Jobs'. I visited the show on Saturday and it was mind-blowing. Absolutely incredible. My favourite works would have to have been Laura Lima's Man=flesh/Woman=flesh - FLAT, 1997 as well as Santiago Sierra's Veterans of the Wars of Afghanistan, Timor Leste, Iraq and Vietnam Facing the Corner, 2013.

This is the video we were shown at uni by John Kaldor himself in introducing the concept of 13 Rooms.
