Taking its title from a line in one of the artist's own drawings, and emphasising the participation and process at the heart of his practice, the exhibition at WIELS brings together key pieces from the late 1950s and early 1960s, the artist's seminal First Work Set made from 1963 to 1969, as well as hundreds of sculptural elements, drawings and photographs that span the length of Walther's more than half-century long career."
