2. Carnegie International 1995, Pittsburgh (1995)
'Clamp' was installed for the first time at 'Carnegie International 1995' in Pittsburgh, November 5 1995 – January 2 1996 at the Carnegie Art Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It consisted of a floor and four walls with two openings. The floor consisted of parts of the floor from the studio of Franz West. This room contained two benches, two white tables, three tables with Telephone Sculptures and 'Plato’s Sun'. 'Papille' and 'Rondell' were placed outside the Clamp. Photographs from this exhibition do not show the 'Plakatenentwurf' (poster design). In a letter dated January 8 1996 however, a 'Plakatenentwurf' is mentioned as a part of the installation, so it might have been added at a later date, or it may have been exhibited outside of the Clamp, on the outside of its walls or elsewhere in the exhibition space. The walls of the Clamp were covered with pages from the phonebook of Pittsburgh. A white telephone was placed on each of the white tables. The visitors could actually use the telephones inside the Clamp. Next to the telephones on the tables Xeroxed copies of an explanatory text on the installation and its sculptures is provided for the visitors.
