As many around the world are experiencing social distancing and orders to stay at home, ICI is relaunching do it (home). A version of do it envisioned by Hans Ulrich Obrist in 1995 and produced by ICI, do it (home) assembled a set of artists instructions that could easily be realized in one’s own home. Since then, “do it has always taken place in public and in private—spheres of life that for many have coalesced in recent months,” says Obrist.
This new version of the project is a growing selection of instructions distributed online, and simultaneously through over 30 collaborating art spaces from within ICI’s international network. It contains existing and newly commissioned contributions by artists, currently available in English and Spanish. do it (home) will take you away from your screens, and recreate an art experience at home. You will respond to the artist’s call, follow their lead, enter their world, and realize an artwork on their behalf. When you’re ready to return to the screen, share that you did it!
