《do it in Chengdu》

“do it” was an art project initiated by the renowned curator Hans Ulrich Obrist in 1993. The project invited anyone, anywhere to create an artwork based on do-it-yourself instructions shared by artists, musicians, and designers. In 2020, “do it” landed in a public art museum in China for the first time at A4 Art Museum in Chengdu. “do it in Chengdu” documents how over 1000 collaborative artists at A4 Art Museum in Chengdu interpreted 26 “do it” instructions through communication, negotiation, and teamwork, accompanied by four in-depth articles about “do it.” A4 Art Museum aims to continue spreading the spirit of “do it” through this book – open to everyone, expanding our perspectives through doing, and demystifying the process of art creation.
