RELIC // INSTALLATION // 2014

An upcoming osmosis theatre company project. Venus III / Installation is a durational work of art, set in a gallery or behind a shop-window. This site-specific, versatile performance is an evolution of Venus III / The Show, and is directly inspired by the entertainment business and the movie industry, at large. This time, the various and radical uses of a shop-window or a gallery space are set under the magnifying glass. From selling platforms to protesting spaces, both settings, test the borders of the public vs the private and challenge the often suggested superiority of a product or an exhibited piece of art.
