Social Walking: Lygia Pape "Divisor" 1968-2011

Performance en el Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid

This looks like loads of fun - and a big presensce. Ryan's protest walk proposal made me think of this - I thought it was Oiticica but it was Pape! Here's another 're-performance' in Brazil…




Check out the Oiticicia clips on youtube as well - they are a hoot…
