Adrián Villar Rojas, The Theater of Disappearance (2018), The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, Los Angeles
Questions excised from MOCA text:
With his post-human artworks, Villar Rojas posits the question: What happens after the end of art?
When and where does a project actually begin?
What if an invisible series of housekeeping-like tasks, part of a wide range of circumstances that have been dismissed since the very beginning of art as secondary, is, on the contrary, key to producing that optical illusion we call a “work of art”?
What if we made a radical inversion and took the work of art as an excuse to do the housekeeping?
