Book First Edition
Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 96 Pages, 73 Ills. Softcover 15 x 20 cm - Martin Kippenberger's "Metro-Net Project" consists of six conceptual subway entrances and ventilating shafts that connect up various places on earth in an imaginary way. Kippenberger constructed three entrances in the series: the first in 1992 in Syros, the second in 1995 in Dawson in northwest Canada, and the third in 1997 in Leipzig. The artist extended his subway net with two further works, an entrance and a ventilating shaft which he conceived as "transportable" elements. The entrance was exhibited in 1997 in Kassel at the documenta X, the ventilating shaft in 1997 at the Sculpture Project in Münster. The series will be completed by a sixth ventilating shaft that Kippenberger originally designed for Tokyo, which will now be erected in the garden of Schindler House in Los Angeles. The shaft "reacts" to visitors by emitting warm compressed air and rattling noises through the gratings in the ground - ostensibly from the subway deep under Kings Road.
