Credits: Story

do it (australia) is the latest incarnation of do it, the longest-running and most far-reaching artist-led project in the world. Initiated by Hans Ulrich Obrist in 1993, the project asks artists to create simple instructions that generate an artwork, whether an object, a performance, an intervention, or something else entirely. Presented in partnership with Serpentine Galleries, London, Independent Curators International and Google Arts & Culture, and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Kaldor Public Art Project 36: do it (australia) forms part of do it (around the world), which sees more than 50 new artworks commissioned and shared online.
