Snow Dancing
1995

Le Consortium, Dijon.

First, there was the book (Snow Dancing, as told to Liam Gillick and Jack Wendler, GW Press LTD, London, 1995).
It describes a building, a group of visitors in that building,
and propositions for several activities.
The book is alltogether scenario
and commentary of an event.

Then, there was the exhibition.
The day before its inauguration, a few hundred people were invited for an event that was simulating the aesthetics of a party, taking place in the art center that was wrapped in blue jeans.
