Art and Space (Guided Tour in English)
Dieter Roth's "Gartenskulptur" (Garden sculpture) fills almost a whole hall and appears to be taking over the space and the museum itself. With his tallow sculpture "Unschlitt/Tallow" Joseph Beuys filled an unused space in a pedestrian underpass. In contrast, other artists such as Franz West open up what seems to be living space, almost private in appearance. ABSALON on the other hand closes the exhibition space off by means of a room within a room, which acts as a mental space forcing one towards heightened self-perception. This tour thematizes the ways in which artists deal with space, the ways that works are presented in space and the ways in which we perceive them.
