Name Announcer became the first work of performance art in the Cleveland Museum of Art's collection in 2017.
Description
On the threshold of an exhibition space, someone asks the name of the person who wants to enter and announces it to the space. The person’s presence is amplified, brought to the attention of the people who entered previously. This experience offers an alternative to the expected anonymity of public space.
