Hans Haacke, Wide White Flow

Hans Haacke, Wide White Flow, 1967/2006, electric fans, white silk fabric

… make something which experiences, reacts to its environment, changes, is non-stable…
… make something indeterminate, which always looks different, the shape of which cannot be predicted precisely…
… make something which cannot ‘perform’ without the assistance of its environment…
… make something which reacts to light and temperature changes, is subject to air currents and whose function depends on the forces of gravity…
… make something which the ‘viewer’ handles, with which he plays and thus animates…
… make something which lives in time and makes the ‘viewer’ experience time…
… articulate something natural…

Hans Haacke, Cologne, 1965
