Die weiteren Aussichten
(The Outlook Ahead)

2011
Künstlerhaus Bremen

For this exhibition, the gallery space was left almost empty, and its elements and the objects within it became part of the work by being assigned the functions of a weather station. The position of the windows indicated the outlook for the coming days, and the ceiling light showed the current cloud cover over Germany. The color of the flowers at the entrance to the gallery indicated the outside temperature, and the number of umbrellas in the stand indicated the probability of rain. On a board, the "Employees of the Month" were listed—the names of the high and low-pressure systems active over Germany at that time. The gallery was opened to an omnipresent but mostly excluded phenomenon, and control was relinquished—the weather constantly changes the parameters, the elements of the space are permanently adjusted to the conditions—the space becomes alive.
