As part of the READ exhibition, witness the unconventional performance called Prague Diaries, where a group of five men writes their personal diaries. This happens every Wednesday and every weekend throughout the exhibition until 22 April, 2024. In Gallery 1, visitors will encounter familiar library structures, such as rows of bookshelves, an information desk, tables with reading lamps, and a public restroom. Artworks will appear throughout the space, sometimes tucked into bookshelves. Beyond the shelves, visitors will find the fifth iteration of the duo's durational performance, Diaries. Originally presented as Paris Diaries at Perrotin in 2003, the artists have subsequently presented the performance as Istanbul (2013), Hong Kong (2015), and Dallas Diaries (2019). Prague Diaries feature five young men seated at a long table during Wednesdays and weekends throughout the run of the exhibition. The audience will encounter the performers keeping their diaries; visitors are free to walk around, read over the diarists’ shoulders, and flip through the notebooks when the performers are on a break.
