Metropolitan Art Preview
Scenography of contemporary art from Buenos Aires
PROJECT DATA
The exhibition venue, the former parish hall of St. Elisabeth Church (Karl Friedrich Schinkel), is under monument protection. Art works are leaning against the wall or lying on the floor. The furniture found on-site and the transport packaging are becoming a part of the exhibition architecture. A temporary installed power supply serves also as visitor guidance system. The discovery of art is accompanied by the moment of surprise.
