Gustav Metzger: Aequivalenz- Shattered Stones

Every day during the exhibition – that is on 107 occasions – a man drove a forklift to the Westfälischer Kunstverein, stepped off the vehicle, went inside the building, and used a password to activate a computer program that would inform him, by means of a random generator, how many stones he had to take to a certain location in the city. The man found his payload in the courtyard of the Museum, used the forklift to take it to the allotted place, and then made a photograph of the pile of stones. When he returned to the Kunstverein, he posted the image online for all to see.

Maria Pask: Beautiful City

In the palace garden, near Einsteinstraße, Maria Pask’s project involved a public platform from which experts of various religions presented their respective religious beliefs in response to a series of questions the artist put to them beforehand. Find the schedule of public discussions and further information on the project at beautifulcity.de.

Pae White: my-fi

Three carillons played the artist’s favorite love songs, such as Girl, You’ll be a Woman Soon by Neil Diamond. The melodies marked the tourist route, one carillon hanging over Wilhelm Nonhoff’s World Clock on the building at Rothenburg 13, another on the Stadthausturm, and the third at Lambertikirchplatz at Alter Steinweg 3/4. Schedule carillons
Two large red bells, similar to those on the Camino Real, stood on a lawn in the Botanic Garden. Pae White also presented miniature marzipan sculptures of so-called “taco trucks” in the window of Café Kleimann at Prinzipalmarkt 48.
