8. Vrije Ruimte/Another Space, Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo (2004)
publisher Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo

During the exhibition 'Another space' from September 4, 2004 to December 12, 2005 Clamp was shown without the walls and without the floor panels in one of the smaller galleries of the museum. A rug was on the floor, similar to the other galleries. The sculptures, two benches and two tables were placed within the existing walls of the small gallery space, enclosing the setting. One could enter from the front.
The red stained telephone that we had in storage as part of the inventory of the Clamp was placed on one of the white tables. It was not connected. This is the red telephone from the studio of Franz West that came to the museum as part of the Clamp with the transport of the works for the Proforma exhibition.

We learned from previous installations authorized by Franz West that the telephone was probably not included within the installation. In fact there is no evidence that the Clamp had ever been shown with this red telephone before. Only the first time the Clamp was shown with working telephones, but these were two plain white American telephone sets.
