About this audio guide
This guide to the Middelheim Museum in Antwerp centres on a single Saturday in May two thousand nine, when the American artist Chris Burden stood beside a pit of wet concrete with a release latch in his hand and a steel beam hanging high above him. It touches on gravity, chance and Jackson Pollock's flung paint, and on a New York field of beams that came first. Best heard standing at the edge of the concrete block itself.
