In Untitled Performance # 03, artist Béatrice Balcou manipulates a wooden replica she made from a sculpture by artist Claire Barclay, Hard Measure (2006). This placebo work came out of its packaging, installed, contemplated, uninstalled then packed again under the gaze of the spectators. These slow and meticulous gestures - as those who manipulate works of art can do - are repeated over a period of several hours, thus summoning, through this act, a deceleration of the gaze and a form of meditation.
