'I received the invitation to participate in ‘Handlungsanweisungen’ while I was on an icebreaker for my 'Twelve O'Clock in London' project. I should give instructions for actions to the public. I decided to instruct on generic survival techniques which I had recently learned on my Antarctic expedition.' Nin Brudermann, 2004 

“The actions turn into a reaction—a mental or physical movement—which makes the apparent lack of action, both as a refusal to act and as an initiated thinking process, also part of the open field of Instructions. Mostly, the venue is not the physical location, i.e. the Karlsplatz area, but the viewer’s mental place of action. The seven instructions of Nin Brudermann’s utopian sketches, for example, are neither site-specific nor complete directives functioning as food for thought in this open space.” Gerald Matt, Kunsthalle Wien, catalogue Handlungsanweisungen—Instructions for Actions, Steidl Verlag, Göttingen, 2004
