[kj] (OT) Céleste Boursier-Mougenot at the barbican

[folk devil]

The latest commission for The Curve is by French contemporary artist 
Céleste Boursier-Mougenot and takes the form of a walk-through aviary inhabited by 40 zebra finches. 

For his first UK solo exhibition Boursier-Mougenot constructs a landscape for the birds using bass guitars and Gibson Les Paul electric guitars as perches, and cymbals as feeders containing water and seeds. As the birds go about their routine activities, settling on the instruments, plucking strings and pecking cymbals they create a chance composition.
