When, in 1974, Gustav Metzger called for ‘three years without art’ for his proposed Art Strike (1977–80), he presumably hadn’t intended to be absent from the art circuit for more than two decades. Since the mid-2000s, however, his legacy has been re-discovered in a string of exhibitions. This revival has now been taken up by the Centre of Contemporary Art in Toruń with Act or Perish!, an ambitious overview of the artist’s career spanning from the late 1940s until today.
