Walking Piece

Yoko Ono’s Walking Piece (Grapefruit, 1964) turns walking into art: follow another’s footsteps silently across varied terrains, fostering mindfulness, bodily awareness, and making the enactment of the instruction the artwork itself.

Stand Erect

Benjamin Patterson’s Stand Erect (1961) exemplifies walking instructions as art, focusing on movement patterns. The participant becomes part of the artwork, while Patterson guides and controls the body, mediating between the actor and their physicality.

Theatre Music

Theatre Music: Keep Walking Intently (1964) by Takehisa Kosugi, a Fluxus score, transforms the simple act of walking into focused, durational performance, highlighting individual and collective endurance while framing everyday movement as theatrical and meaningful.

Composition 1960 #10 (to Bob Morris)

Composition 1960 #10 directs the performer to “draw a straight line and follow it.” Dedicated to Robert Morris, this minimalist work transforms a simple action into a conceptual exploration of movement, space, and the performative potential of everyday gestures.

4th Finale featured Lynghøj School Brass Band performing self-chosen, evolving sounds while gradually leaving Stændertorvet. The audience followed the dispersing orchestra in procession toward the Viking Ship Museum.

4th Finale was performed by Lynghøj School Brass Band at Stændertorvet. Each performer was instructed to choose an action to perform, whether this was constant, intermittent or variable was up to the performer himself. The tune or sound could consist of a repetition, a cyclic progression or an evolving note, and could be freely invented or quoted from any source. The performers were instructed to continue their chosen sound, while slowly beginning to leave the area. As the orchestra left Stændertorvet, spectators followed in procession down the street towards the Viking Ship Museum.
