The urban stroll combines contemporary art and architecture. The\u00a08th edition of the event offers a selection of 19 works by international artists including installations by Tracey Emin, Sean Scully and Sarah Lucas. New this year, the exhibit includes two sound installations that defy the limits of public art. <em>Tree<\/em> (1972) by Marina Abramovic, installed in a real tree, broadcasts the slightly distorted and repetitive sounds of birdsong. The second sound work, Miroslaw Balka\u2019s<em> The Great Escape<\/em>, offers several whistled interpretations of the eponymous film\u2019s theme song.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iIpPbo2dpQI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/walkerart.org\/calendar\/2018\/daniel-buren-voiletoile-toilevoile?utm_source=biweekly&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter&amp;mc_cid=cfd473e617&amp;mc_eid=afc0aaeaea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Buren: Voile\/Toile \u2013 Toile\/Voile<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>Cowles Pavilion, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden,\u00a0Minneapolis, Minnesota (United States)<br \/>\nThrough October 7<sup>th<\/sup>, 2018<br \/>\nEighteen brightly striped boat sails are currently displayed in the huge transparent pavilion of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. This outdoor installation by Buren, invited by The Walker Art Center, is a premiere in the US and is part of the series <em>Voile\/Toile \u2013 Toile\/Voile<\/em> (1975-2018). This work by Buren is always comprised of two distinct events: a regatta during which the sailboats feature the artist\u2019s signature sails, and an exhibition of the sails after the race. The play on words <em>Voile\/Toile<\/em> emphasizes the dual nature of the striped canvases as both paintings and sails, inserting painting into a discourse of utility, which Daniel Buren holds dear.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biennale-melle.fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biennale internationale d\u2019art contemporain de Melle (France)<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>Through September 23<sup>rd<\/sup>, 2018<br \/>\nFor the eighth edition of the contemporary art biennial of Melle, curators Chlo\u00e9 Hipeau-Disko and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Legros have gathered about 30 artistic proposals in several unusual places, populating the city with outdoor artwork.
