This exhibition for action/artworks that consisted of artists' instructions realized by the participating museums, was curated by Hans-Ulrich Obrist. "Do It" is not concerned with copies, images or reproductions of artworks, but with human interpretation. No artworks are shipped to the venues, instead everyday actions and materials serve as the starting point for the artworks to be recreated at each performance site according to the artists's written instructions. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
