“We make a proposal: let us bury the artwork as such and we ask you to make thought live through action” - Lygia Clark
The groundbreaking work of Lygia Clark explored the tactile, performative register of conceptual art. “Relational” long before this quality was canonized as an “aesthetic,” Clark’s practice leaned heavily on collaboration and cooperation.
