About this title

Synopsis:

The curator in his essay and the two artists in their work have one thing in common: the question of space. In the 1990s, Kippenberger had the idea (documented here through drawings and a poster) of an underground network encircling the whole world. Opposite this, H fer's photographs show such interiors as MoMA, an underground station in Oslo, and the German pavilion at the Venice Biennale, all absent of any human presence.

About the Author:

Martin Kippenberger was born in Dortmund, Germany, in 1953, to a mine director and a dermatologist. He showed artistic talent, and independence, at at early age, boycotting art classes in elementary school after a teacher gave him only the second highest grade. Since then his work has been exhibited at museums and galleries worldwide, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Until his death in 1997, he lived and worked in Austria.
