A Chance Meeting of Yves Klein and Gordon Matta-Clark on the Gold Plated Corpse of James Lee Byars

A 3D remake of my performance 'A Chance Meeting of Yves Klein and Gordon Matta-Clark on the Gold Plated Corpse of James Lee Byars' in Bains::Connective, Brussel, Belgium on 6 June 2009.

The sculpture was left behind anonymously in the Middelheim Open Air Museum for Sculpture on 19 September 2024 in the 'Come Closer' exhibition where "the space between sculpture and performance art is explored".

Visitors were challenged to find the sculpture and take it home.

'A Chance Meeting of Yves Klein and Gordon Matta-Clark on the Gold Plated Corpse of James Lee Byars' was found by Barend & Chris on Tuesday 24 September 2024, four days after sending out a mailing to 1108 recipients. The location was 51º10’56.0’’N, 4º25’04.0’’E. A nearby sculpture is '67 Vlaggen' by Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven.
