“I have confidence in you”:Activating Eric Andersen’s <i>Opus 51</i>
No full textThis chapter discusses the scored piece Opus 51, written by the Danish intermediaartist Eric Andersen (b. 1943) in 1964. In particular, we address the central elementof trust involved in performing the piece and how this leads the work to adapt toand, indeed, be shaped by the institutional codes that frame its performance. We dothis by discussing elements of the research and exhibition project Eric AndersenExhibition Lab, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde, Denmark, in2018, in light of the colorful circumstances surrounding the first performance andthe subsequent reception of Opus 51 in 1964–65.1This chapter discusses the scored piece Opus 51, written by the Danish intermediaartist Eric Andersen (b. 1943) in 1964.
