"That's really the origin of do it. It is intended to use the potential of a truly transnational dialogue, but not bind the exhibition to constraints that could prevent it from traveling freely. The project also connects to endeavors of curators like Brian O'Doherty, Seth Siegelaub, and Lucy Lippard, who worked with the dematerialization of art and also supported the idea that a book can be an exhibition. For me, this freeing of constraints began with my experiences as a teenager. I was sixteen or seventeen when I first entered the art world and started making studio visits. For about five years I traveled around in a very old-fashioned way, on night trains, on a kind of grand tour where I just looked, and looked, and looked again. That was when I met Christian Boltanski. It's also when I met Peter Fischli and David Weiss, and they sent me to Alighiero Boetti: do it would not exist without these encounters." Hans Ulrich Obrist
