The ephemeral, the circle and perfection are three perpetual reccuring 'elements' in the versatile oeuvre of James Lee Byars. These 'aspects' are present from his most intimate works to the largest performances and installations. The function of the city of Antwerp as fourth key word is an obvious choice, since this remarkable artist, staring in the late 60's performed a lot of memorable actions in our city.
