Ten stainless steel boxes, a tongue-in-cheek reference to
Donald Judds polished artworks, were carried around
for several days by wish-collectors in Amsterdam,
Berlin, Frankfurt, Graz, Imola and Rome.
A form of traveling public art, that is implicitly a critique
of corporate public art, often imposed on the public in the
form of monumental sculptures and spectacular, bureaucratic
aestheticism.
In Wunschsammlung form doesn´t coincide
with content, rather it creates a field of tension between
the visible and the invisible. Wishes jotted down on paper
and deposited in these boxes will never be read, content will
remain forever hidden and elusive.
Meaning is created in the space of this fleeting encounter
between strangers, with the box acting as a catalyst of the
process.
