“The manipulation of the physical world is a constituent part of the work of a sculptor,” the Irish-Welsh artist Barry Flanagan said in 1983. Flanagan, who worked as a laborer before turning to art, remained inspired by manual labor. This is particularly apparent in the works, a short film he directed in 1969. For 16 minutes a man is seen carrying heavy bags of sand up a staircase, only to pour the sand through a small hole drilled into a plank—the sand lands on the floor below. Lost for 55 years, the film was recently rediscovered and will be screened at the Frieze Art Fair, in London. On October 11, nearby at House of Annetta (built in 1705), there will also be a performance art re-creation: while Flanagan’s film plays continuously on a screen, two performers are going to carry 900 pounds of sand to the second floor, drill a hole into that floor, and pour the sand through it. Tickets are required for entry. —Jeanne Malle
