In the performance Keep smiling five performers acted during the opening of the group exhibition Art Must be Beautiful like over-polite hosts who welcomed the visitors, shook hands with them and constantly smiled. Furthermore the communication with audience consisted of some prescribed sentences (for example: I hope you are satisfied with quality of the works in the exhibition. I wish you a pleasant stay in the Gallery.) and of improvised parts which included some themes convenient for small talk.

U performansu Keep smiling petero izvođača se za vrijeme otvorenja grupne izložbe Umjetnost mora biti lijepa ponašalo poput prenaglašeno ljubaznih domaćina koji srdačno pozdravljaju posjetitelje, rukuju se s njima i ne skidaju osmijeh s lica. Osim toga  komunikacija s posjetiteljima sastojala se od nekih obaveznih rečenica (kao npr. “Nadam se da ste zadovoljni kvalitetom radova na izložbi”, “Želim Vam ugodno razgledavanje izložbe” itd.)  te od improviziranih dijelova koji su uključivali teme pogodne za small talk.
