Ink on paper This ink drawing documents the installation designed by Jean Tinguely for Tir (“Shooting Paintings”), performed by Niki de Saint Phalle in Milan in 1970 during the Festival of Nouveau Réalisme. Combining technical notation and schematic clarity, Tinguely outlines the protective structure, shooting distance, and reinforced panels surrounding the target. The annotated measurements and directional arrows reveal the mechanical planning behind the action, reflecting his characteristic fusion of engineering and artistic intervention. The work captures the collaborative dynamic of the Tirs, in which rifle shots released concealed paint, transforming the surface through controlled destruction. As both preparatory plan and conceptual statement, the drawing offers a concise record of the performative infrastructure behind one of Nouveau Réalisme’s most emblematic gestures.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
