Skulpturinstitut, Vienna
The place could be flippantly described as one in which the mere means – sick of eternal waiting – could hold forth on their own: for which reason the “holder” enjoyed pride of place. The posed questions struck their poses throughout the entire space. The slideshow had realized ahead of time the vital nature of its performance. And the everyday narrative? It had left its daily litter all over and was thus constantly in the way.
