Conceived by curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, "do it" is an exhibition of artists’ instructions, that began in Paris in 1993 with a discussion between Obrist and artists Christian Boltanski and Bertrand Lavier, who were curious to see how an exhibition may never stop. Now, do it has become the longest-running and most far-reaching exhibition ever, giving new meaning to the concept of the “exhibition in progress.” This video is a tribute to the 20th anniversary version of do it, with new artists’ contributions and a compendium of over 250 instructions.

After a decade, this project is still one I like to talk about. A heartfelt collaboration of over 40 artists, animators, musicians, editors, who all worked on this (happily) outside of their day jobs, as a contribution to the non-profit, Independent Curators International. This video helped define passion project for me.
