T.451. A scenic walk
Join Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster (Paris) and Ari Benjamin Meyers' (Berlin) scenic walk T.451 and experience a parallel reality re-enacted in Stockholm city and the suburbs of Hjulsta and Tensta. The one-time only performance T.451 is inspired by Ray Bradbury's sci-fi novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) as well as the film version by Francois Truffaut (1966) with music by Bernard Herrmann. In Bradbury's original story, set in a future society, communication is only made through TV and images. Literature is regarded as dangerous for the unified community and has thus been classified as illegal. As with many of Gonzalez-Foerster and Meyers' previous works, T.451 is based on time, situations and the public's presence. The artwork appears as a multi-dimensional enactment where music and visual elements, combined with the existing environment, make the work into an experience'revealing the potential of art to produce imagined as well as real change. Starting at 14:00 at Gunnar Asplund's Stockholm Library, ending in Tensta at 18:00.
