Exactitude  is a series of performances in war crimes tribunal courtrooms involving the artist's cross-examination of Defense witnesses. Attended by invited members of the art world, these interventions explore the possibility of extending the notion of the readymade to performance. The title references "On Exactitude in Science," a short story by Jorge Luis Borges about a map of the world on a 1:1 scale.
