About:
The Opening was an art performance, installation, and event held over the course of one workweek at the Gerrit Rietveld Pavilion in Amsterdam. During this time, the two artists confined themselves inside a black cube furnished with only essential amenities: a bed, food, a toilet, and a single small pocket camera whose flash served as their sole source of light.
