Take me (I’m yours) is a project by Christian Boltanski and Hans Ulrich Obrist, whose focal point is to redefine and recreate the rules of the game in art exhibitions. On account of the convergence of objectives with BIENALSUR, we have decided to invite them to present a new edition of this project. “I think that what connects these projects is to some extent a questioning of the idea of the Holy Relic. (...) Take Me (I’m yours) offers to dispel the taboo that one can’t touch anything in museums, because the work is sacred (…)”, explains Christian Boltanski. “The idea was that art could travel not as an object, but as a kind of musical score, and that it could be performed, even fifty or one hundred years later. (…) Therefore, it is necessary to invent rules of the game that make this homogenization more complicated (…)” “Take Me (I’m Yours) is not a supermarket. It’s not a matter of referring back to the hysteria of consumption; there is something more solemn”, adds Hans Ulrich Obrist.
