Exhibition designed by Charles Aubin

Born in 1981 in Nantes, lives in London.

« Walk like an Egyptian » is a group show made up of instruction pieces only. It compiles a selected choice of event scores, tasks, assignments, injunctions, drawings and invitations produced by artists from the 1960s up to now. These instruction pieces are assembled in a booklet handed to visitors at the entrance of Les Abattoirs – Musée Frac Occitanie Toulouse. The visitors are thus able to perform the different pieces – such as Ben’s Monotone pour Yves Klein (1964), Word Event by George Brecht (1961) or Safety Measures by Tim Etchells (2006).

In « Walk like an Egyptian », Charles Aubin invests the tradition of instruction pieces, which origins can be traced back to two main figures – Marcel Duchamp and John L. Austin – and to the groundbreaking movement Fluxus.
