When Hanne Tierney came to Wan\u00e5s in 1996 to carry out an indoor performance, the idea to create an installation or a sculpture at the site took hold. It resulted in Love in the Afternoon, a swing tree. The swing as motif goes back to the Rococo tradition in Europe in the mid-1700s. An idyllic, carefree existence and romantic motifs were favored by many, including the French artist Jean-Honor\u00e9 Fragonard (1732\u20131806). One of his most well-known works, The Swing from 1767, depicts a swinging woman wearing characteristic Rococo fashion. For the opening in 1996, Tierney exhibited the performance work Trois M\u00e9nage \u00e0 Trois,<\/em> in which a girl wearing a Rococo style dress sat swinging high up in a tree, accompanied by music played on a double bass. Tierney, who mostly works with performance art, is also the founder and director of FiveMyles in Brooklyn, a space for performance and exhibitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
