Whispered Art History
Back in 1963, Robert Filliou published his lecture “Whispered Art History” (histoire chuchotée de l’art)
( link = http://marabou.be/ABD2010 , which was Art’s first birthday present. And, since then, ART’S BIRTHDAY parties are being organised across the world each year on the 17th of January.
On 17 January 2010, the M HKA (the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp) will yet again celebrate ART’S BIRTHDAY in Antwerp.
At the museum Ward Weis will perform Filliou’s HISTOIRE CHUCHOTEE DE L'ART throughout that day in a landscape comprising myriads of microphones and loudspeakers.
